Underfall Yard, Maritime heritage complex in Bristol, England
The Underfall Yard consists of multiple industrial buildings, workshops, and a slipway situated along Bristol's Floating Harbour, serving maritime activities since its construction.
William Jessop completed the initial construction in 1809, followed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel's significant improvements to the sluice systems during the 1830s.
The Visitor Centre houses exhibits, including a large interactive map and the Human Accumulator demonstration, teaching visitors about Bristol's maritime engineering history.
The yard maintains maritime operations with boat repair facilities, education programs, a café, and guided tours available throughout the scheduled monument site.
Three original electric pumping engines from 1907 remain in the Pump Room, demonstrating the hydraulic power systems that operated Bristol's port machinery.
