Plans have been revealed to transform a former pub into a community based care facility along the A4 Bath Road. Meadow Care Homes has taken on White Hart Lodge in Brislington to propose to build an 80-bed care home and some key-worker flats, along with some public facing uses.
White Hart Lodge has a history stretching back to the early 18th century, where it was used as a coaching inn that was extended in the mid-19th and the mid-twentieth centuries. The building was given a Grade II listing in 1977 and it remained as a community pub until the early 2000s.
It was taken over by the Bristol Performing Arts School in 2010, which was its main use until the school moved to Warmley in 2021. Meadowcare Home currently has a live-in facility in Redland for residents seeking care for dementia.
