The Immediate Site The plan opposite provides the focus for the competition. The church is located on the south-east corner of two major multi-lane vehicular thoroughfares: the east-west Redcliffe Way and the north-south Redcliff Hill. At their intersection is a large traffic gyratory: the diameter of its central island is wider than the church itself. This traffic infrastructure, imposed on Bristol in the post-war period, creates an urban morphology for the church that is alien and devoid of consideration for the pedestrian and street activity. This is exemplified by the historically-relevant Chatterton House that sits forlornly in adjacence to Redcliffe Way and within an ill-maintained and leftover pocket park. The area north of Redcliffe Way is characterised by a commercial area of largely new build offices or repurposed former industrial buildings. The urban grain to the immediate south and south-west of the church is more historical, with rows of nineteenth-century — interspersed with twentieth-century — developments, but largely following the traditional street pattern (for example Redcliffe Parade East and Colston Parade). To the west of the church is the former Quaker burial ground (now another underused pocket park), and beyond this, and at lower level is Redcliffe Wharf, a disused yard on the eastern bank of the River, which is due to be developed. To the south-east and east, the urban grain reverts to a mid-twentieth century form of post-war renewal, characterised by mid-rise residential slab blocks sitting within the centre of their sites, supported by their own dedicated amenities such as parking, sports courts and playgrounds. Here, the traditional urban form is truncated by these developments, including the severance of Colston Parade which is turned into a realigned pedestrian route adjacent to the Ship Inn public house. Redcliffe Methodist Church and Church Centre, located along this route and bounded to the south by Prewett Street, is contingent with the surrounding post-war developments. Finally, two large hotels bookend the church to the south-west and east. 21
