Victoria Street, Bristol, 2006.

The 1990 appeal permitted partial demolition and the addition of extra storeys. This, of course, meant "façading". Beyond the new structure on the Counterslip corner, four façades appear to be united under the single roof of a new office building. Further along the two gable ends are new, presumably to disguise an added attic storey. The former Talbot Hotel on the corner of Bath Street has benefited greatly from the reinstatement of its top storeys, which had been lost during wartime bombing. Beyond Bath Street (behind the bus) a new building stands at the foot of Bristol Bridge on what had been the last bombsite remaining in central Bristol.
