St George's Hall Lost to Housing | Bristol News

Published 2 weeks, 4 days ago
Description

St George’s Hall in Redfield, Bristol, a historic building dating back to 1912 and once a silent movie theater, is being demolished for shared housing after years of community efforts to save it as a cinema. Despite being recognized as an Asset of Community Value and uncovering original Art Deco treasures, developers Landrose’s latest plan—approved 6-2 by the council—transforms the space into 42-bedroom housing with a small pub downstairs. Campaigners are devastated, while councilors split over parking concerns and national planning rules that favor developers over local needs, sparking a wider debate on who controls our neighborhoods.
