Restoration of No.35 Jamaica Street, Stokes Croft

The area sustained heavy war damage and during the 1950s much of St James Barton and North Street was cleared - A new roundabout with pedestrian underpasses was built - A huge office block and car park complex and a considerably wider road were added in the 1970s - The offices have recently seen a peculiar transformation from a drab grey block that no one wanted into a complex of apartments for modern urban living.
