Arson-hit site Work 'could start soon' on redeveloping metalworks

The scene following the major fire last weekend; Below, the blaze on Saturday

That was the message from one of the country's biggest housing associations, which wants to build more than 150 new homes on the site alongside the River Avon.

Police are continuing to investigate the blaze that took hold at the old Bristol Metal Spraying facility at the western end of Coronation Road in Ashton Gate on Saturday afternoon. The cause of the fire is being considered as arson because witnesses say they saw a group of youths running away from the site, just before smoke started billowing from the scene.
