The area around popular Bristol pub The Cornubia could be "transformed" as part of a new development which is being proposed in Redcliffe. Developers Boultbee Brooks are hoping to renovate Canningford House on Victoria Street, and their plans would see changes made to the outside of The Cornubia.
A new landscaped courtyard will be built, and part of that will be used as a new outside seating area for the pub, which came runner-up in the Campaign for Real Ale's 2022 Bristol pub of the year award.. And there will be a new pedestrian walkway connecting Victoria Street and Temple Street, which will lead to the courtyard and which the developers say will be similar to Hawkins Lane at Finzels Reach.
A website which outlines the proposal says: "Our scheme would see the historic ‘Long Row’ pedestrian route reinstated, connecting Victoria Street with Temple Street. The space around the Cornubia – which sits within our site – would be transformed into an attractive and welcoming environment opening onto Temple Street, supporting and celebrating this important historic and much-loved pub."
