The Bell at St George, Bristol, September 2010

[Landie_Man]

I had always wanted to do a pub! Sadly this one is absolutley FUBAR! Hardly any info on it, but judging by some of the expiry dates its about 2008 sometime. Place is torn apart, but has something about it.

This is the last report before my tripod was terminally injured by my girlfreind who knocked it onto its side while it was open and subsequently tripped and fell onto it, so my next few reports might be a bit wonky! Good job I love her huh!

Onto the pics.

And Finally....

I have to admit that although I love natural decay, I can't stand trashed places, but there is something about it. Looks as though it was quite a funky place at one time.
Love your 4th pic with the exhibition poster in. And those spooky graf faces. Neat.

Nah it was never funky... it was just well used as a TAA space last year.

I certainly never heard of any stabbing! It was just a ****** residential pub which shut down for the same reason most other ****** local pubs shut down... cheap supermarket alcohol.

Just checked out your link, Krela. Cool. That's why it's got something about it.

True.
It was one of my local watering holes for a bit.. The community lost very little with the demise of The Bell..
