  • Location

    The Giant Goram stands in the heart of Lawrence Weston, surrounded by high volume housing developments, many of which were constructed in about 1960, at the same time as the public house.

    Lawrence Weston adjoins the suburbs of Henbury and Shirehampton and lies to the northeast of the city centre which is approximately 4 miles distant. There is a regular bus service to the city centre and the A4 Portway lies on the fringe of the estate, providing direct access to the city centre and to junction 18 of the M5 motorway at Avonmouth. Lawrence Weston’s eastern boundary is Blaise Castle Country Estate, with its woods forming an attractive recreation area. There are a variety of small retailers on shopping parades servicing the local community.

    The property is detached and set back from the road junction of Barrowmead Drive and Middleton Road. The property is constructed of brick under a pitched, green, non-ferrous metal roof. There are additional flat roof sections.
