Following up from Sethyboi's report - for more history see here.
The BRI Old Building as it was known was built at early part of the 19th century and remained operational till 2016 when the North Bristol Health Trust sold it to Unite with the plan for Student Flats. One thing we don't have enough of in the middle of Bristol is Student Flats (sarcasm). We've been chipping away at working access to this place for several months over the summer - made harder with a bastard of an alarm install littered with PRIs and talking darleks on every corner of the place. Eventually alot of patience and continued perserverance meant we nailed it. It's taken a good 3-4 visits since then to try and cover it all. It's no epic but it certainly has its good parts:
From outside - a bit of a bastardised frontage with additions over the years
Inside given its use up to 2016 it's mostly modern but still retains the odd original or dated part. Not least the chapel which has since been given Grade 2* listed status meaning that Unites plans to demolish the lot are firmly up the shitter right now.

The oldest parts of the building:
