Granby Green – a short history

This space had been cared for by local residents as an informal community garden from as far back as
the 1970s until a fence was erected by a developer, to establish a title with the Land Registry in May
2002. This 4 day interruption to public access later proved to be a crucial factor in the 18 month

legal battle to register the space as a Town Green which would have protected it from development,
regardless of ownership (ironically, this technical objection has now been removed by a recent High
Court ruling). A support group of around 100 local people (Friends of Granby Green) campaigned to
prevent the loss of the space and the group faced a professional legal team at a three day public in-
quiry. At one point, Town Green status was con-
ferred by the Bristol CC Open Spaces committee

CA AGM
A good turnout of 50 or so members at-
tended our Annual General Meeting in No-
vember. Ray Smith stepped down as Chair
and Dennis Gornall nobly agreed to take
the hot seat. Faruk Choudhury and Andrew
Curtis retired from the Management Com-
mittee and Rosemary Stibbon was elected.
The evening was enlivened by the vote for
the best three ‘Top Ideas for Hotwells’.
the results are presented in this edition of
‘Hotwells News’. There was also a good
discussion about the future of Granby
Green (see article on page 1).
Office Move
It was hoped that we might find space in
the derelict basement of a Council-owned
property in Albemarle Row but in spite of
CA Treasurer Brenda Mclennan’s best ef-
forts to pursue this, with support from Cllr.
Barbara Janke, the Housing Dept. remained
evasive and eventually turned us down.
There is suspicion that, once their attention
had been drawn to two empty basements in
an area where a garage sells for more than
most people can afford for a house, they
decided that selling off to a developer
would be a better option than providing a
benefit to the local community. Watch for
the ‘for sale’ board to go up. A further ap-
peal produced a generous offer from Rich-
ard Dennys of local business ’Brilliant
Weekends’ who has an empty office at 14
Hotwell Road that we can occupy on a
flexible basis. We will move in here some-
time in January, once a phone line is in-
stalled. A permanent base with enough
space to hold meetings and small events is
still our long term aim.

Next time you hoot at a
cyclist...
Cyclists in Hotwells can be as confused as
the drivers who attempt to weave around
them on our busy roads. These signs near
Haberfield House illustrate nicely what an
obstacle course it is to pedal from A to B,
in spite of Hotwells being on a major Sus-
trans national cycle route. We also have a
cycle lane that starts and finishes in the
middle of a busy 2 lane road (Cumberland
Basin Road). A cycle lane running outside
of a parking bay, nicely positioned to be
flung off by an opening car door (ditto). In
the Centre, we have tiny little bricks with
cycles on them amongst the multitude of
different pavings and textures to indicate a
cycling right of way. You need to get off
and walk to spot them and non-cyclists
probably have no idea that they exist. The
best cycle routes are segregated from cars
and pedestrians, eg. across College Green,
but even then, skateboarders and ambling
tourists are a constant hazard. How will
they manage the new waterside route
across Canons Marsh when it eventually
opens? Another combined cycle/
pedestrian path one suspects, maximising
the aggravation for both types of user.
Actually, the best thing to happen in a long
time for urban cyclists in Bristol is bus
lanes. Here is a broad strip of tarmac you
can depend on having to yourself, since
buses are generally considerate. If it
weren’t for the maniac taxis drivers....
Brunel Swing Bridge
We reported in the last edition on an ini-
tiative to try and restore this bridge which
sits beside the lock at Cumberland Basin.
The ‘Brunel Swivel Bridge Group’ arranged
a meeting in December with Council
Leader, Barbara Janke and officers repre-
senting planning and docks interests. Af-
ter an inspection by local engineer Ian
Duncan, it seems the bridge, in spite of its
age, is in reasonably good condition and
restoration need not cost an astronomic
sum. The main problem may be the poor
condition of the hydraulic mains used for
working dock machinery which all need
replacing with another source of motive
power. It was agreed that the bridge
would be included in a BCC funded study
of the dockside area to be carried out by
consultants early in 2007. Although it
does not identify any funding for the pro-
ject this will help to establish the case for
refurbishment in the context of other de-
velopments around Cumberland Basin. It
represents the first official acknowledge-
ment by the City that the scheme may
have some potential.
No more excuses...
Couch potatoes in Hotwells & Clifton-
wood now have nowhere to hide with the
opening of ‘Fitfirm’, a new hi-tech Fitness
Suite on Hotwell Road. Since we never
gain any benefit from running for the bus
(most of them don’t stop here) our only
opportunity for keeping fit locally has been
the challenging terrain of the walk up to
Clifton. If that never seemed an attractive
prospect, here’s your opportunity to start
work on your summer six-pack (and we
don’t mean cans of Fosters).

At the third stroke...
The doleful bonging of Trinity
Church clock was probably
not noticed by many people
until it stopped some while
ago. The chimes needed re-
pair and specialist menders
are, apparently kept very
busy. Now they are working
again so you know for certain
what time it is when you are
unable to get to sleep in the
middle of the night. Surely,
despite the small annoyance,
it is the emblem of a true Hot-
wellian to live within the
sound of Trinity church clock
and something to be proud
of!
Hotwells—no park &
no ride
Are you frustrated by seeing
Park and Ride buses sail
past Hotwells virtually empty
while you stand and wait for
a country bus to come and
pick you up?
We took this up with the
Council and were told that
because the Council sup-
ports the Park and Ride ser-
vices it is illegal for the ser-
vices to pick up along the
routes operated by commer-
cial services. Service 902
can pick up on the Portway
as no other commercial ser-
vice operates along there.
So until there is a change in
the legislation, or Park and
Ride itself becomes commer-
cial, it cannot serve Hotwells.
We did try!

The winning three top ideas to improve
As promised in the Summer edition of Hotwells News, your entries
for top ideas to improve Hotwells & Cliftonwood were presented at
the AGM on November 28th and voted on by those who were there.
Everyone was given 3 sticky labels to allocate as they wished; all 3
for one project if they felt sufficiently enthusiastic. Here are the top
three ideas:
1st place
Traffic calming at en-
try points to the Hot-
wells area (27 votes)
submitted by Dennis
Gornall
The idea:
To create large on-road signs painted
against a red tarmac dye on all the
main entry roads into Hotwells. The
signs to read:
‘Hotwells residential area please
DRIVE SLOWLY’
Such signs should be immediately pre-
ceded by calming rumble strip which
should create enough noise and vibra-
tion in the vehicle to make the driver
take note of the sign following.
The following places are suggested as
suitable/necessary for such signs:
The Portway immediately prior to
The Colonnade after coming under
the suspension bridge.
Across the Hotwell Road opposite
the bottom of Joy Hill and before the
turning opposite to Dowry Square.
On the Hotwell Road, half way be-
tween the pelican crossings.
On Brunel Lock road around the
point at which it goes under the Plim-
soll Bridge.
gateway to Hotwells?
The benefits:
• To assist in calming traffic and re-
minding drivers as they enter the
area that this is a residential area
as well as a main thoroughfare
into the City.
• To assist in promoting this par-
ticular area of the City by naming
it in the road.
• To show that people in this area
care about the speed at which
cars pass through it.
2nd Place
Love and Care for
Albemarle Row (23
votes)
submitted by Liz Mills
Albemarle Row is grade II* listed and
one of the oldest terraces in Hot-
wells, built in 1763 to provide accom-
modation for visitors to the spa. It is
also the main access to Hotwells
School. The railings and footpath
need renovation and there are issues
around safety and traffic management
which have caused problems for resi-
dents, school staff, parents and pupils.
The idea:
Refurbish the stone paving and the
iron railings.
Extend the pavement and better traf-
fic calming to to improve safe access
to the school.
Introduce chevron parking for resi-
dents and limit through traffic.
Introduce tree planting and other
greenery.
Provide a safe pedestrian space that
can be used for occasional open air
events like the School Fair and ‘Art
on the Railings’.

Colin Rose—Film Director & Producer
Colin Rose lives with his wife Janet and has three adult offspring who have
now left home. He has been retired now for five years after a busy and in-
teresting career as a film director and producer, mainly with the BBC.
Colin grew up in the outskirts of Poole on Dorset heathland. His father was a carpen-
ter and his mother worked in a cake shop. In 1962 Colin was the first member of the
family to go into higher education, studying Drama and French at Bristol University.
This included a year spent in Paris working and studying theatre and participating in a
programme of international productions.The summer vacation had Colin touring with
a theatre company in a Circus Big Top around France, taking down the lighting and
the seating and moving on to the next venue without much sleep. Back to college he
continued acting or directing (but no more lighting!). He won a Film Society script
competition and collected £300 as a prize which was spent making a forty five minute
drama called “But now read on” which was
sold to the BBC.
The head of programmes for BBC Bristol, John
Elliot, offered Colin a three month contract for
two short documentaries a week on a daily
magazine programme.These included the odd
spoof, eg. “The supposed discovery of cave
paintings in a quarry by the supposed Dr Colin
Rose of the non existent “University of
Slough”. He later made documentary films
abroad for ten years, including a series in the
1970’s with Michael Croucher and Colin Tho-
mas in Southern Europe portraying old ways of
life which were fast disappearing. This was a
way of giving viewers vicarious travel experi-
ences before package holidays were common-
place.
He also began making half hour drama films on
location for TV with writers like David Rudkin. There was also a comedy series Big
Jim and the Figaro Club about builders after the 2nd World War.Tony Robinson se-
cured the role of Baldrick after appearing in one episode of Big Jim as a bad tempered
stable lad. With Ted Walker, the writer on Big Jim, Colin went on to make a trilogy of
one hour films called “A Family Man”about several generations of a family from the
1930’s to the 1980’s.
In the 1980s Colin moved into the role of Executive Producer and took charge of the
10x10 scheme, a virtual film school of the air which made about 130 short films and
launched numerous careers. Colin was inspired by young animators he encountered
and developed the BBC animation unit to support independent projects with editorial
advice and financial investment.The first of these was Aardman Animation’s “The
Wrong Trousers”. He had met Nick Park as a student at the National Film School.
Other Bristol based productions included Richard Goleszowski’s “Rex the Runt” and
the Bolex Brothers’ “The secret adventures of Tom Thumb”
As animation can cost up to £50,000 per minute, part of Colin’s role was to use his
reputation and that of the BBC to attract finance internationally to enable British ani-
mators to realize what might otherwise have been non-commercial products.He also
co-produced overseas productions. “Belleville Rendezvous” made in Montreal by au-
thor and director Sylvain Chomet was only half completed when Colin was due to
retire in 2002, so he arranged with the BBC to continue working for nothing apart
from travel costs, (to comply with Employers’ Liability legislation). For 18 months he
was on a “work experience contract” like a student, in order to finish the film. The
result gained a 15 minute standing ovation in Cannes in 2004!
Having lived and breathed film for the best part of 40 years,often working 90 hour
weeks, Colin now rarely goes to the cinema or watches TV. He likes to study the
social and economic history of the part of Dorset where his family came from and to
travel to remote places , now with no responsibility to make a film about them. He
and Janet choose places like the Outer Hebrides, Arctic Norway and Western Aus-
tralia for their emptiness and solitude.
