The demolition of what was once one of South Bristol’s most popular buildings is imminent, with machinery to tear it down now in place.
The former 1930s art deco cinema on Filwood Broadway in Knowle West has been earmarked for demolition since 2019, but a plan for what will be built there in its place was only given permission earlier this year.
Since then, contractors have been working to clear the internal fixtures and fittings of the building, which became a bingo hall for around 15 years but has been empty and abandoned for the past 29 years.
