context_page_description: Lewin's Mead is an area of Bristol, England, part of the city ward of Cabot, in the historic centre of the city, lying just outside the former medieval town walls. Several old buildings survive, including the Unitarian Chapel constructed in the late 18th century, an old sugar house and the ancient thoroughfare known as Christmas Steps. The 13th century St Bartholomew's Hospital which became Bristol Grammar School in the 16th century is situated at the bottom of Christmas Steps.
context_section_description: The area is now dominated by residential apartment buildings and tall office blocks and is split by busy main roads. Some of the damage done by 1970s and 1980s development may now be ameliorated under a scheme being considered by Bristol City Council.
  Some of the tower blocks have now been decorated with graffiti. as Lewin's Mead regenerates.
