In photos: Bristol in 2022
Bristol’s landscape is constantly shifting – with new buildings and developments popping up around the city.
Some buildings remain a familiar sight as they have been for a number of years. Others stand abandoned or vacant, waiting to be snapped up by private developers or the council.
As time moves forward, it is inevitable that the renowned buildings which make up Bristol will not be around forever. With that in mind and as 2022 draws to an end, Bristol24/7 has collated a snapshot of Bristol in its current state through photos.
