Selfie wall tells the story of the changing Bristol’s Temple Quarter district

Get your mobile at the ready: a new ‘selfie wall’ has been unveiled on Cattle Market Road near Temple Meads Station.

The temporary exhibit aims to brighten up the derelict sorting office site and breathe new life into the area while building work is underway, ahead of the construction of the University of Bristol’s new Temple Quarter Enterprise Campus.

The striking artwork has been created by Upfest on behalf of Bristol City Council in partnership with Out of Hand, the University of Bristol and site clearance contractor Kier. It is loosely based on the history of the sorting office site, charting its transformation from medieval pasture land to cutting-edge university campus and beyond.
