Bristol University has unveiled the site of its new campus and it will replace one of the city's worst eyesores.

It will take over the former Royal Mail sorting office site next to Temple Meads railway station, right in the heart of the city's enterprise zone.
The plan is to knock it down the former sorting office building, which has been derelict for nearly 20 years, and redevelop the site.
The university hopes the new campus will open in time for the 2021/22 academic year and provide capacity for more than 5,000 students. But that is just phase one of the expansion plans, which stretch out over the next 40 years.
