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.
MAURICE FELLS is a born and bred Bristolian with a passionate interest in the city’s history, and a prolific author of books about Bristol. He worked as a journalist in both the print and broadcast mediums, and held key editorial posts in regional television, radio and newspapers. He now freelances, with features on local history appearing in the Western Daily Press and Bristol Post. He is often asked by BBC West and ITV West to take part in programmes about regional history. He has also written features about the regeneration of Bristol City Docks for national newspapers.
