I would also like avid reading of the NME in the 80s to be taken into consideration.
They're in the midst of redeveloping the end of the M32 (the tower) and Broadmeads (grim seventies shopping area that's lost out badly since the terrible out-of-town 'mall' opened in the wasteland between the far end of Filton Aerodrome (A place called Catbrain, as it happens) and the M5), and what will happen is that the old versions of the place will become airbrushed out. A lot like what happened with the meccano flyover.
I think cities are in constant motion. Consuming themselves and reproducing like those time-lapse films of fungus edging along a wall.
That was before I moved to Bristol, but I do remember visiting Bristol once when it was up. That would of been back in about 96 I think! I remember when I moved here I didn't recognise the area around Temple Meads because it had changed so much.
