Derelict ...but authentic
Buchanan's Wharf, Bristol, photographed from Welsh Back on Wednesday 23rd July 1975. The buildings had started life, in 1883, as the granary (left) and mill (right) of Messrs Procter and Baker. During the 90s the area was "regenerated" and "apartments" were inserted into these empty shells. Anything likely to offend the new tenants by its unsightliness had to be sanitized or removed. The corrugated iron conveyors soon went, as did the chimney and the projecting structures on the top storey, which must have housed hoists. A new block was inserted into the bomb site off right and the untidy quayside buildings to the left gave way to more flats.
