Harbour Living with Soul WAPPING WHARF LIVING One and Two Bedroom Apartments and Penthouses harbour living with soul WAPPING WHARF LIVING This is the first phase, and the catalyst for the regeneration of Bristol’s historic harbour at Wapping Wharf. It will bring new life and vibrancy to the city with an architecturally sensitive addition to Bristol’s waterfront. The development consists of apartments and penthouses within beautiful wharf-style buildings plus a new pedestrian walkway linking south Bristol with the Harbourside. This is regeneration at its finest. CONTEMPORARY APARTMENTS IN WHARF-STYLE BUILDINGS Designed by award winning Alec French Architects, these wharf-style buildings utilise rugged materials to complement the urban surroundings; brick, stone and iron, with large windows and balconies or Juliet balconies, to create light and airy interior space. Externally the wide, newly created streets are tree lined and the use of paving, cobble-sets and granite with modern lighting completes the picture. The one & two bedroom apartments and penthouses have a high level of finish and specification, including fully integrated fitted kitchens and security systems. Computer generated image. Details may vary on completion of the development. Computer generated image. Details may vary on completion of the development. THERE’S NO PLACE QUITE LIKE IT harbour living with The area of Wapping Wharf is steeped in Bristol’s maritime history and is now being transformed into a thriving area of Bristol with more than 600 new homes, local shops, cafés, restaurants, offices and a 150-bedroom boutique hotel. When completed a whole new waterside café culture will emerge to rival anywhere in Bristol. Another important part of this exciting new scheme will be the completion of a much-needed pedestrian walkway linking south Bristol with the new residential, shopping and leisure area at Wapping Wharf.

Photograph by the author. 2 AN ATLAS OF POST-REFORMATION PLACES OF WORSHIP WITHIN THE CENTRAL AREA OF THE CITY OF BRISTOL By the 14th century Bristol had developed to be the second largest town in England after London and in 1373 it was incorporated as a county in its own right separate from Gloucestershire and Somerset. It was well- endowed with parish churches and by the end of the middle ages most monastic orders were represented with their specific houses. Bristol was not created a city until the establishment of the diocese of Bristol in 1542 based on the former abbey church of St Augustine. The city expanded increasingly rapidly from the late 17th century and by the mid 19th century had well outgrown the area covered by this atlas.
