One of Bristol’s most "iconic" venues has closed suddenly and been put on the market. Cumberland Basin cafe Lockside, which featured in the sitcom Only Fools and Horses, shut its doors last week and is already for sale.
The venue on Brunel Lock Road started life as a transport cafe in 1963. In recent years, it was modernised and became a popular breakfast spot with a decked terrace and stunning views of the Avon Gorge and start of the floating harbour.
Lockside was run by the same family for nearly 20 years. Estate agents say that the sale is due to retirement.
