If caching with children PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THIS IS A VERY BUSY ROAD AND CHILDREN WILL NEED STRICT ADULT SUPERVISION.
When you Arrive at the given coordinates, you will be stood in front of the Bristol Royal Infirmary, better known locally as the BRI. The BRI is one of the oldest Infirmaries in the United Kingdom, A wealthy city merchant, Paul Fisher, was prominent in the foundation of the hospital in 1735. In 1904 Sir George White, who gave Bristol its first electric tramway service and established what was to become the Bristol Aeroplane Company, saved the hospital from debts of over £15,000 by increasing the number of subscribed donors and planning a fundraising carnival at Bristol Zoo. White was appointed president of the hospital in 1906. Recognising the need to modernise the hospital building to keep up with innovations in science and medicine, he established a £50,000 fund to build a new hospital building. As a result, the new Edward VII Memorial Wing designed by Charles Holden was completed in 1912. Acquired by the National Health Service in 1948, the hospital's facilities were greatly extended in the 1960s. The Queen's Building extension opened in 1972. The Bristol Haematology and Oncology Centre, located behind the main hospital building, opened in 1971. In April 2011, The Board of University Hospitals Bristol approved the £80 million redevelopment of the BRI, consisting of a new ward block on the Terrell Street behind the BRI, the refurbishment of the Queen's building, the conversion of wards in the King Edward building and decommissioning of the Old Building. The redevelopment include building a new welcome centre at the main entrance of the BRI and a new facade for the Queen's building, which was once voted one of the ugliest buildings in Bristol, the redevelopment was completed late in 2016. Plans were submitted to build student accommodation on the sight of the BRI Old Building, these plans were for a 20 story block of flats but this was rejected due to the age and heritage of the current building and it being one of the oldest buildings in the country. This is an extremely busy junction so PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE USE SUPER STEALTH!!! Ensure that this cache is replaced as found to allow others the enjoyment of the search and find. ****************************** For full information on how you can expand the Muggle Junction series by GeoJim.15 please contact GeoJim.15 by either sending him a message using the geocaching app or email geojim.15geocacher@gmail.com ******************************
