Bristol General Hospital, Grade II listed former hospital in Harbourside, Bristol, England
Bristol General Hospital is a substantial Victorian structure on Guinea Street featuring distinctive architectural elements and a prominent dome crowning the roof. The building comprises multiple sections that expanded during different periods of the 19th and 20th centuries.
The hospital was founded in 1832 with Quaker support and grew through multiple expansion phases over the following decades. It served the community as a medical facility until closure in 2012.
The building served as a filming location for the BBC Three drama Being Human, linking medical heritage with contemporary television. This modern use shows how historic structures find new roles in popular culture.
The former medical facility has been converted into residential apartments while maintaining its Grade II listed status and historical features. Visitors can appreciate the exterior and setting while exploring the surrounding Harbourside area.
During World War II the building sustained severe damage, with its characteristic dome completely destroyed in the bombing. The dome was later reconstructed, showing how this landmark recovered from wartime devastation.
