THE familiar stonework of Bristol’s Cabot Tower is visible again after scaffolding which encased it as part of a restoration project was removed.
Scaffolding had surrounded the iconic structure on the top of Brandon Hill for months to allow workmen to carry out repairs to make it safe.
Most of the work is now complete and visitors will be able to climb to top of the 32m-high building when it reopens to the public in the middle of August following a three-and-a-half year closure.
