A public meeting has been called by campaigners trying to save a historic old cinema building in east Bristol and stop it becoming a 44-bed accommodation centre.
Developers Landrose have re-submitted a fresh planning application to turn the old Redfield Cinema, most recently the St George’s Hall pub, into a House in Multiple Occupation (HMO) for 44 people in 13 ‘cluster units’ where people live in en-suite rooms with a shared kitchen.
A huge campaign was launched back in 2021 against the plans and to try to save the almost completely intact cinema space that originally opened in 1910. Few people realised the existence of the cinema - which was left largely intact but out-of-bounds when Wetherspoons took over the building and converted the downstairs into a pub.
