This book explores the colourful and fascinating history of Bristol through visible signs that it has left behind. It takes a fresh look at some of the city's well-known - and not so well-know - buildings, and is also a guide to some of the many statues, columns, plaques and other memorials that can be found a across the city.
Once described as 'the most beautiful, interesting and distinguished city in England', Bristol has had a dramatic history since it was granted county status in 1373. It has seen prison riots and shipwrecks, royal visits and hangings: discover the building once called 'the Devil's Cathedral', the inn where Robinson Crusoe met Daniel Defoe, or the church where you can find the rib bone of a whale brought back from John Cabot's voyage to Newfoundland in 1497.
