WAPPING WHARF MASTERPLAN

Exhibition: Tuesday 16 December - Sunday 11 January

Umberslade (Wapping Wharf) Ltd is currently working up an overall masterplan for the Wapping Wharf site including the Industrial Museum and adjoining waterfront land owned by Bristol City Council. This important site, which includes remnants of the Old Gaol, is one of the last remaining development opportunities within Bristol’s harbourside.

Proposals show a strong urban approach to city living through a residential led mixed-use scheme. The design conserves the industrial character of the dock edge, creatively reusing the listed buildings and structures and encouraging more pedestrian and visitor use. It features a major new public open space and pedestrian route through the site as a setting for a landmark building with further individual buildings that protect and frame key views into, from and through the site.
