From Debenhams to Shredenhams: Bristol’s store gets a skatepark makeover

Bristol’s old Debenhams building has just had a radical revamp  – it’s now a skatepark.

Now dubbed Shredenhams, the once-iconic department store has swapped retail racks for ramps, thanks to Campus Skateboarding, the team behind Bristol’s beloved Campus Pool and Park.

With dozens of currently abandoned former retail spaces across the UK this is great, creative way to reinvigorate our failing high streets.

The new hot pink “SHRED” sign hangs over the old store logo as curious locals pressed their faces to the glass for a sneak peek of what’s coming.

Inside? A full-blown skatepark, plus a bar, pool table, dartboard and arcade machines
