A property company has been appointed to manage a development of homes on the site of historic public swimming pool in Bristol.

Principle Estate Management will oversee the 31 affordable homes, which were built on the site of the former Speedwell Baths on Whitefield Road.

The baths first opened in 1937 and were a favourite leisure destination for tens of thousands of city residents for nearly 70 years. They were then closed in 2005 by Bristol City Council and lay derelict for years before they were demolished in 2019.

Abri Housing Association has developed a mixture of one- and two-bedroomed apartments in a new, five-storey complex on the site. It awarded the contract to manage the 31 residences to Principle.

It is the second management project that Principle has won from Abri, following a contract to manage affordable homes in Dean Street, in the St Paul’s area of Bristol, last summer.

Joe Jobson, joint managing director of Principle, said: “We are delighted to be expanding our relationship with Abri and this continues our growth in the great city of Bristol.

“We have worked with Abri throughout the design and build process and ensured all maintenance and service contracts have been set up and were ready on resident occupancy."

Sean Gill, management company manager at Abri, one of the largest housing providers in the South of England, said the new development on the Speedwell Swimming Baths site would provide "much-needed affordable housing" in the city.
