Looking Back: Redeveloping Bridge Street
Today’s pictures are another selection from the archive of Looking Back reader Andy Cole which document some of the city centre developments in the 1980s.
The pictures all show the redevelopment of Lower Bridge Street which would eventually include the Rivergate centre.
The first picture, which was taken in February 1989, shows the work on the restoration of Bridge Street / Rivergate.

The other pictures, taken in July and October of that year, show how the work progressed on the development of the west side of Bridge Street.
