Lakeshore is a development of flats in the Bishopsworth area of south Bristol, England. It is a Grade II listed building. The building uses a structure of Cor-Ten Steel which is left from the headquarters building of Imperial Tobacco which was built in the 1960s. The tobacco factory and offices closed by 1990 and partially demolished, before being given listed status and then left for ten years. The surrounding factory has been demolished and is now the site of a shopping centre. The new development of 422 homes and its surrounding landscapes grounds and facilities has been built in a sustainable way, including the use of geothermal energy. The development has won prizes for design and environmentally friendly approach.

Withywood
Withywood

Withywood is a suburban neighbourhood of Bristol, England. It is situated on the southern border of the city, between Hartcliffe and Bishopsworth, just north of Dundry Hill. It is a large estate, begun in the 1950s. Withywood has a number of primary schools: Fair Furlong, Four Acres, Gay Elms and Merchants Academy. There is a secondary school, Merchants Academy, which opened in November 2008, before the demolition of the former Withywood Community School. All of the schools have sports fields and grounds. They have also been a registered charity since 1996. Queen's Road has a number of shops and the Amelia Nutt Health Clinic at the Withywood Centre. Four Acres road also has shops directly opposite Sherrin Way bus terminus (the end of the journey) next to 'The Rusham' retirement homes. It has a pub, from Elm Tree. Between Sherrin Way and The Coppice, runs the River Malago. This disappears into a culvert where the stream meets Four Acres. A big regeneration program is taking place around the area, new apartments on Hengrove Way and further development of The Junction shopping complex, and a proposal of a swimming pool and leisure complex alongside Cineworld, all within walking distance of Withywood. The Dundry View Neighbourhood Partnership works with residents in Bedminster Down, Bishopsworth, Hartcliffe, Headley Park, Highridge, Teyfant, Uplands, Whitchurch Park and Withywood. For elections to Bristol City Council, the area is part of Hartcliffe and Withywood electoral ward.
