How lost Bristol city centre streets at Castle Park will look after major development

City centre streets that were decimated during the Bristol Blitz could be restored as part of a major redevelopment. Developer MEPC finally won permission for the work at the derelict bank buildings bordering Castle Park, surrounding the ruined tower of the former St Mary Le Port church, in September last year.

As well as three new buildings with offices, shops, cafés, restaurants, and bars, it is proposing to reinstate four long-lost streets that were bombed during the Second World War.
