The Granary was once exactly that - a humble grain store. Yet it is one of the most admired buildings in Bristol. It is the masterpiece of the Bristol Byzantine style, a swirl with polychromatic brickwork. The massive façades are full of interest. Each storey is different. It was designed by Archibald Ponton and William Venn Gough and built in 1869. Now it has been converted into apartments, with restaurants beneath.
