Former Sugar Refinery

The former sugar refinery, now a clothes warehouse, dates from the mid-19th century and was partly demolished in the late 20th century. It is constructed of pennant rubble with limestone dressings and features a pantile hipped roof. The building has a rectangular open plan and stands four storeys high, with a six-window range. The front is regular, with plain sill courses on each floor and a parapet. There are segmental-arched openings with rubble voussoirs, including two-storey entrances on the left and third from the left. The first entrance has full-height double doors, while the second has a pair of inserted 20th-century doors and a window above. A ground-floor double door is located fourth from the left, and there are mullion windows with six-pane casements. A small step in the parapet separates the right-hand two windows. The left return is blind, while the right return has a carriage arch with double doors.

Inside, the structure features an internal frame of cast-iron columns supporting rolled steel joists, which in turn support a timber floor. The window dressings are made of brick, and the roof has a queen post timber design, with the right-hand two-window section having a similar but heavier roof. Originally, the building had a ten-window range extending to the right, and there is a round chimney at the rear. This refinery was part of the once significant Bristol sugar industry, alongside the former refinery at Narrow Lewins Mead.
