The Argos store that has stood on East Street in Bedminster for decades has suddenly disappeared - and a new building will soon replace it.
A five-storey building of 50 flats will occupy the large space at the top end of East Street, with new stores fronting South Bristol’s main shopping street.
The plans were quietly given permission by city council planners last March - without even going to a public committee - and the demolition crews that have been working on taking apart the large former Argos warehouse behind the store reached the front this month.
