St Mary-le-Port is the original centre of Bristol and lies next to Bristol Bridge at the junction of Wine Street and High Street. Heavily bombed during the second World War, the area is now covered with largely derelict post-war buildings.
Bristol City Council wants to see this eyesore regenerated to create a vibrant new quarter for the city which reclaims the historic heart of Bristol and reflects the area’s original medieval street patterns.
The existing post war buildings will be removed and there will be a mixed use development with food-related shops, cafes and restaurants at its heart.
Improved connections between the new Cabot Circus shopping centre, the Old City and Redcliffe will help knit the city back together. There will be an enhanced setting for the ruins of St Mary le Port church and the development could also help fund key improvements to Castle Park, next to the site.
Landowners Bristol City Council, Morley Fund Management and Strand Street Properties selected Bristol-based Deeley Freed as the preferred developer for the scheme. They and their project team are working on preparing detailed plans for a £150 million vibrant mixed used scheme on the site.
