Granary, Bristol, Grade II* listed building in Welsh Back, Bristol, England
The Granary building in Welsh Back is a former grain storage facility from 1869 featuring red brick walls with black and white decorative patterns and limestone details. The structure was completely renovated in 2002 and converted into modern apartments while preserving its original architectural character.
The building was designed in 1869 by architects Archibald Ponton and William Venn Gough and originally functioned as a grain storage facility for a local trading company. It reflects the industrial architecture of that era when Bristol was a major port city handling commerce and trade.
From 1968 to 1988, the building served as a nightclub where people gathered for live music and entertainment. The venue became an important meeting place for the local music scene during those decades.
Access is limited to public areas since the building is privately used as apartments and a nightclub. From outside, visitors can appreciate the architectural details and facade, which showcase Bristol industrial design of that period.
The building is one of the few surviving examples of Byzantine Revival architecture in Bristol, designed with specialized ventilation and storage systems for grain handling. These technical features remain visible in the structure and wall openings when you look carefully at the exterior.
