HistoryEdit
The roundabout was constructed in the late 1960s and was reported to cost £900,000.[1] It contained an inner garden with hexagonal flower beds.[2]
In the 2010s, in response to safety concerns regarding the pedestrian subways, the roadway around the north and west of the roundabout was narrowed by one lane, and a new at-grade pedestrian and cycle route was created.[3][4]
In June and July 2019, Bristol City Council carried out a £250,000 eviction and cleanup process where squatters and their possessions were removed from the space within the Bearpit.[5]
