Pictures show work is underway at the former Debenhams store in Broadmead after a new company has taken over the site. Construction workers have begun stripping the site to make way for a new development in the Bristol Shopping Quarter.
The former department store on the Horsefair and St James Barton closed down in May last year, going up for sale just days after its permanent closure. It was one of 49 branches across the UK to close after the long-running retailer chain fell into administration.
A document from Bristol City Council seen by BristolLive names a London company, 33 Horsefair Ltd, as primarily liable for business rates of the building. Companies House named Louise Staniforth and Nicholas Winsley as directors since the firm was established in November last year, with AEWUK owning at least 75 per cent or more of the company's shares.
