An exterior staircase serving B Bond warehouse in Bristol’s Cumberland Basin.

The Grade II Listed building dates back to 1906-8 and was built by William Cowlin & Sons. It was originally a bonded warehouse for tobacco. It is one of three similar warehouses built early in the 20th Century.

Today, B Bond is home to Bristol Record Office and the Create centre which is focused on sustainable development. It also now has an Eco home, added in 1996.
