11 of the best places in Bristol called shed
With the Engine Shed next door to Temple Meads expanding into shipping containers, we decided to find out just how many other places in Bristol are named after sheds.
It seems that we just love sheds in this city. Here are 11 of the best:
1. Passenger Shed
