Bristol’s buildings of the 20th and 21st centuries: 13th October 2026

A talk by Andrew Eberlin and Elliott Sargent. Starts at 7.30pm in The Apostle Room, Clifton Cathedral, Pembroke Road, Bristol BS8 3BX.

Fashions in architecture fall into and out of favour, and it’s often the work of earlier centuries that is revered at the expense of more modern styles. Bristol’s townscape offers a rich mixture of the Good, the Bad and the Ugly from across the ages, and some of the more recent buildings do deserve a closer look. Here’s an opportunity to consider some of the more notable, possibly controversial, structures erected over the last 125 years.

Andrew Eberlin and Elliott Sargent, co-founders of the Bristol Modernist Society, will take us on a photographic tour of the city’s finest 20th century buildings. Starting with the Grade II* listed Everards Print Works and ending with Aztec West, you will see a range of styles including Art Deco, mid-century modernism, Brutalism, High-Tech and Post-Modernism.

Tickets cost £5. (NB You do not need a PayPal account- you can use a credit / debit card).
