CLIFTON & HOTWELLS Character Appraisal 3. location & Setting

3.1 The Clifton & Hotwells Conservation Area is located in the west of the city of Bristol, immediately east of the Portway, north of the Floating Harbour and west of the city centre. The conservation area centres upon the development of terraces, crescents and streets that rise from Hotwells in the south before meeting the open landscape provided by Avon Gorge and Clifton Down to the west and north. The area is characterised by its dramatic climb from 10m above sea level at the lowest point alongside the Floating Harbour, reaching up to 90m at the highest towards Clifton Park.

3.2 From its origins as an incidental development, Clifton’s boundaries on the south and west were historically established by footpaths, and on the north and east by estate boundaries. As the area evolved into a planned suburb, subsequent building developments followed these boundaries and faced the challenges of the enormous contour differences across the site. As a result, the four great developments of Windsor Terrace, the Paragon, Royal York Crescent, and Cornwallis Crescent, relate perfectly to the landscape.

3.3 Clifton & Hotwells is abutted on all sides by neighbouring conservation areas. Conservation Area lies to the northeast, beyond Pembroke Road. Park Street and Brandon Hill Conservation Area is to the southeast, east of Jacob’s Wells Road. The Downs Conservation Area wraps round the west and north; and the City Docks Conservation Area is immediately south of Hotwell Road.

Map 1 – Clifton & Hotwells Conservation Area in local context 3 4. SUMMARY OF CHARACTER & SPECIAL INTEREST

4.1 The unique character of Clifton & Hotwells is directly influenced by the local topography and geology, which has produced a residential townscape of grand contrasts and memorable settings. The principal streets follow the contours of the steep slopes that rise above the River and Floating Harbour at Hotwells, with terraces exploiting the landform and firm rock bed to gain Figure 2: Victoria Square Garden panoramas and views across and beyond the City. 4.5 Built fabric and the relationship between 4.2 When the conservation area was first buildings, streets and spaces in Clifton and designated, it was classified as being of Hotwells clearly reflects an evolution from ‘outstanding interest’ and considered to be the earliest scattered settlements to the of national significance. planned Georgian and Victorian squares and terraces, and the redevelopments and infills that sit within this context. There is an extremely high quality of built fabric and townscape with more than 1200 listed buildings, 31% of the total in Bristol (33% of the streets contain listed buildings).

4.6 Adding to the conservation area’s special sense of place is its village-like atmosphere. In the main, the area is composed of imposing formal Classical terraces, areas Figure 1: Clifton from Cumberland Basin of grand Victorian villas, interspersed with intimate mews, artisan and shopping streets. 4.3 The steep escarpments and cascading These are built back from the scenic edges, residential terraces of the southern edge which accommodated the most prestigious provide a characteristic image of Bristol. houses.

Iron Age & Roman Period 5.2 The earliest known settlement in Clifton occurred just beyond its northern boundary, at Clifton Down Camp, an Iron Age promontory fort now marked by the Observatory. The hillfort stood on the east side of the Avon Gorge and forms one of three hillforts, with and Burwalls on the western side of the Gorge, all c. 350 BC.

5.7 The Domesday Book, completed by 1086, record the Manor of Clifton as amounting to three hides (approx. 900 acres), which belong to the provost of Bristol, with very few residents.

5.8 William de Clifton acquired the Manor of Clifton in the mid-12th century, which was a small hamlet surrounded by agricultural land. He granted the right to appoint to the earliest known church in Clifton in Figure 3: Site of Clifton Down Camp 1154 (St Andrew’s Church) to the Abbey of (© Crown Copyright & Landmark Information Group Ltd) St Augustine.

6.2.1 The topography of the city is unique and views across it make an important contribution to Bristol’s townscape and character. The spectacular city-wide views enjoyed from the Clifton & Hotwells Conservation Area are fundamental to its special interest.

6.2.2 For the purpose of Character Appraisals, four types of views out of the conservation Figure 9: Panoramic view south from area have been identified: Windsor Terrace towards the Mendip Hills Panoramas – are wide-reaching views that extend across the city and beyond.

Long Views – are long-distance views across the City, to key features or landmark buildings. Views into the Conservation Area fall within this category.

Local Views - these tend to be shorter and confined to a specific locality such as a Conservation Area. They include views to skylines, local landmarks, attractive groups of buildings, views into open spaces, streets and squares.

6.2.4 Panoramic views extend west across the Avon Gorge or southwards to the Docks and Dundry, or to The Downs. The long views and panoramas to the south tend to be enjoyed from the top of Windsor Terrace, Royal York Crescent, Sion Hill, and Clifton Hill. Figure 11: Glimpsed view of the Suspension Bridge from Princes Buildings 17 6.2.6 The steep escarpments and cascading residential terraces of the conservation area contribute to a characteristic image of Bristol. Views into the conservation area are also significant. Views of Royal York Crescent, The Paragon, Windsor Terrace; the coloured Clifton Wood Victorian terrace; the landscaped areas below clinging to the hillside; and the terraced gardens beneath the Avon Gorge Hotel, are instantly recognisable and significant for Bristol and the wider region. Views towards the Avon Gorge and Suspension Bridge are of international renown.

7.1.3i Litfield Road has an intimate character and reflects its earliest origins as a subsidiary mews street to service the grand Clifton Down mansions. A number of modern houses have been introduced, which largely respond appropriately to the traditional scale, materials and character of the street.

7.1.3j The area bounded by Percival Road, Norland Road and Camp Road was formerly the park belonging to Norland Figure 27: The Mansion House House (in Canynge Road). This was sold off and developed in 1905-8 with 7.1.3f The Engineers House (1831) is Grade II* Edwardian semi-detached brick and pedimented and double-fronted villa, by rendered houses, set behind front Charles Dyer, in limestone ashlar.

A number of Grade II listed ‘arc’ cast iron lamp posts are sited along Clifton Down, Harley Place and The Promenade. Historic street surfaces are retained at Harley Place.

7.1.3l The contrast between the main routes and former mews areas is particularly important in this area, as it reflects the historic development and special interest. The character of the area is compromised where infill has failed to reflect predominant scale or materials. The Figure 28: The Engineers House 1960s flat block between Harley Place and Harley House is a particular eyesore.

7.1.3h Camp Road has a number of mews buildings, many now converted to residential dwellings. The unconverted mews are now more rare, including no. 8, and should be protected.

The parish church of St Andrew’s, stood on the summit of Clifton Hill, is first mentioned in 1154, and was partially rebuilt in 1654. The Regency Gothic church, by James Foster, 1819-22, was bombed and its tower pulled down in 1954 – only the Figure 41: Bishop’s House foundations remain. 44 CLIFTON & HOTWELLS Character Appraisal 7.1.6e Clifton Hill House (1747), Clifton Hill, 7.1.6g Clifton Court (now Chesterfield Hospital) is Grade I listed and Clifton’s most built c. 1742-3 for Nehemiah Champion, impressive Georgian mansion.

7.1.8w The commercial side of Clifton Village is key to its survival and character. There are public realm issues when food bins are left out and tables and chairs or ‘A’ boards block the highway, impeding pedestrian movement. Late- night drinking and restaurants can conflict with local residents’ amenity, particularly on Princess Victoria Street and The Mall. The traditional shopfronts add immeasurably to the charm of the area. Where single units are lost, unsympathetically altered, or joined to create large restaurants, it can cause harm to the building as well as to the retail character of the wider area.

7.1.9a Hotwells lies at the base of the south Clifton slope, centred on Dowry Square and Dowry Parade and the terraces immediately north of Hotwell Road. This is the earliest portion of the conservation area to be developed, with buildings characterised by early Georgian brick architecture that relate to the Hotwells Spa period of the early to mid 18th century.

Many original footscrapers, railings and associated gates survive. South of Hotwell Road are a number of original shopfronts. Hope Square retains all its original doors, except one.

7.1.9m The quality of Dowry Square and most of Hotwells is downgraded by heavy through traffic using it as a mass route to the city centre. Granby Hill is also negatively affected by traffic; cars park on both sides of this steep narrow route, causing difficulties for traffic movement. Clifton Vale Close is a poor post-WWII pair of ‘T’ plan flats, which respond badly to the surrounding context and occupy a large plot south of Cornwallis Avenue. Chapel Row terminates abruptly with negative 1960s flats, which greatly detract from the terrace and wider area. The traditional shopfronts along south Hotwell Road are undermined in places by poorly designed and obtrusive signage.

57 CLIFTON & HOTWELLS Character Appraisal 7.2 Architectural Details

7.2.1 The Clifton & Hotwells Conservation Area has a rich variety of architectural detail, reflecting the varied architectural styles and special interest of the area. The preservation, and appropriate reinstatement, of traditional details is vital, in order to preserve or enhance the area’s special character or interest. The variety of windows, doors and roofs enliven the area and give variety Figure 61: Chimney stacks and pots along and interest to the street scene. Most the skyline commonly Classical details are used in porches, windows, door surrounds, cornices and parapets, which provide vital alleviation to the stucco or brick facades.

7.2.2 It is important that architectural details are protected and preserved, as it is often the factor that gives the plainer buildings their character. Particularly in terraces it is the overall consistency of design and detail that gives the character, and loss of detail on one house in a terrace can be damaging to the whole group Figure 62: A variety of white painted barge boards appear on later Victorian buildings Roof Profiles 7.2.3 Bristol’s hilly topography with corresponding long views and vistas means Windows & Doors that roof profiles form an important factor 7.2.5 Windows and doors are crucial in in local interest.

7.2.7 Doors and Bathstone surrounds are the most elaborately detailed element of the facades. In Clifton & Hotwells there are a variety of original 6-panel doors with traditional door furniture. These have a variety of limestone Classical surrounds and porches.

7.3.1 Other features and details in the townscape also contribute to a sense of local distinctiveness. These can range from distinctive boundary treatments and street furniture, to trees and hard landscaping. Individually and collectively they contribute to the overall quality of Bristol’s streetscape.

7.3.2 Clifton is rich in local townscape details that cumulatively give interest and quality to the street scene and make a positive contribution to the character and appearance of the area. Where they remain, these details must be preserved or replaced with their modern equivalents Figure 89 & 90: Traditional iron kerb edge; as their degradation and disappearance Pennant flag cross over to setted mews gradually undermines the quality of the area (see Negative Features below). 7.3.6 The raised Pennant pavements around Clifton Green, Hotwells, Clifton Park and Historic Street Surfaces the Clifton Spa are also an interesting 7.3.3 Traditional surface treatments such and unique feature, that unite the grand as setts and paving can be important terraces and distinguish them from their elements in the townscape of an area. setting.

Where the opportunity arises, a scheme to restore the traditional street surfaces would greatly enhance the routes where it has been lost.

Railings and Boundary Treatments 7.3.11 Railings and boundary walls contribute significantly to the character of Clifton. They add interest in the street scene and provide a sense of enclosure. Figure 96-99: Various railing designs

Street furniture, including letter boxes, lamp standards, and other details, enlivens the street scene but also reflects the history of the area. The retention and appropriate maintenance, or reinstatement, of traditional street furniture is vital to ensure the character or appearance of the conservation area is preserved.

7.4.2 Geologically, the Clifton & Hotwells conservation area mainly sits on a bed of limestone, known locally as Clifton Down Limestone. This oolitic limestone, which weathers to a warm honey colour, is similar in appearance to Bathstone would have been taken from quarries near Worrall Road. This is most widely used in quality building facades and in architectural details was the favoured building material for finer Georgian and early Victorian buildings.

7.4.3 Lying above the limestone bed is a layer of Triassic Dolomitic Conglomorate – a hard sandstone and limestone mix that ranges in colour from orangey red to pale yellow. This was ill-suited to precise cutting and dressing and is more widely used as a course rubble stone in boundaries, side and rear walls and quarried from local sources e.g Honeypen Hill (near lower Berkeley Place).

7.4.4 Other predominant building materials in the area are imported, albeit from local sources. Pennant stone, commonly greenish grey in colour, was also widely used for rubble walling, flagstones, and setts, would have been quarried east of Bristol, near Stapleton.
