Not really gold leaf but gives the impression it might have been transplanted from Dubai. The interior facilities are much improved although not the environs of the auditorium itself.

This hill is very steep. The church steeple seen is St Michael on the Mount Without at GR ST58487332.

An interesting looking little pub towards the top of St Michael's Hill - handy for the university.

St Michael's is at the top of St Michael's hill. It is the maternity department which always seems rather cruel having it at the top of such a steep hill.

Dist:0.1km<br/>Supplemental to [[166510]] which shows the whole building at 4 Horfield Road. The blue plaque states that the actor Michael Redgrave was born here in 1908.

Dist:0.1km<br/>This C19 pub at the foot of St Michael's Hill is not named after a native of Caledonia but after the man whose job it was to 'scotch' the wheels of horsedrawn carts to stop them slipping down the hill. The wooden wedges or scotches would be carried in a pack for the purpose and must have been needed frequently here in this steep street.

Dist:0.2km<br/>St Michael on the Mount Without is situated on St Michael's Hill in Bristol. The tower dates from the 15th century, the church was rebuilt in the late 18th century. Sadly the church is now boarded up.
