Colston Tower is a high-rise building located on Colston Avenue, in the centre of Bristol, England. The building was designed in 1961, but not completed until 1973. It rises 63 metres (207 ft) and has 15 floors of offices. The building is named after the Bristol-born merchant, philanthropist and Member of Parliament Edward Colston.
A clock was added to the building around 1996.[2]
On 11 June 2020, the "Colston Tower" lettering was removed from the tower in response to the ongoing George Floyd protests in the United Kingdom, during which the statue of Edward Colston was also pulled down and pushed into Bristol Harbor.
