Fire at Underfall Yard - Bristol - BBC Interview

Please listen to our BBC interview video here at this link BBC INTERVIEW

Underfall Yard is a historical working boatyard in Bristol that welcomes visitors. There is an ever-changing landscape of boats to enjoy thanks to the skilled maritime businesses that call the yard home. They have organisations relating to boat building, rigging, blacksmithing, marine engineering, marine safety, maritime training and maritime leisure pursuits. In their Visitor Centre you can explore the fascinating story of Bristol’s Floating Harbour. After a devastating fire that caused considerable damage works are underway and being completed by Stone BCI. Steve Sandle, foreman in charge of the renovations, said: "It's a considerable job and a messy job because of the fire.

"Everything is smoke damaged and brittle.

"We're stripping out and reusing what we can; there's a few months still to go before it's finished.

Director of the Underfall Yard Trust Sarah Murray said the yard was 'moving on' from the fire thanks to considerable funding and we are looking forward to seeing the yard fully restored and welcoming visitors again in the near future.
