Book Description
"This comprehensive guide covers the architectural riches of England's historic second port, with lively, up-to-date accounts of every significant building. Bristol's medieval heritage includes a cathedral, many churches, and timber-framed houses large and small. Fine civic buildings and spectacular hilltop suburbs represent its Georgian heyday, and Brunel's Clifton Suspension Bridge and Great Western Railway station head the list of Victorian monuments. Detailed walks explore the outer areas and excursions to nearby attractions, and a scholarly narrative introduction. Colour photographs and extensive maps and plans make the book easy to use, both for reference and as a visitor's companion"--Jacket.

Book Description
A rich, and indeed sometimes bizarre, thread of history weaves its way through the Bristol story. Find out all manner of things, from why a 'Bristol Diamond' would never be found in a jewellery shop to why local by-laws restrict carpet beating to certain hours. Along with a fresh look at city life past and present, these and many more anecdotes will surprise even those Bristolians who thought they really knew their city.
