In late 1969, Bristol was visited by two submarines. The Oberon class boats were part of a Royal Navy “tour” in which vessels were brought to cities and ports so that the public would have a greater understanding of the nation’s military might.

Beneath the platforms the Clifton Suspension Bridge towers stand upon are 12 of these chambers. They were only discovered accidentally in 2003 during maintenance. The stalactites which hang from the ceiling are caused by rainwater leaching minerals through the bridge above. 1/2

The Great Gatehouse on College Green was once the gatehouse to St Augustine’s Abbey - a precursor to Bristol Cathedral, founded in 1140. The tower was added around 1500 but the lower section is from 1170 - making it among the oldest man made structures still standing in Bristol.

Bedminster was established between the 1st & 5th century AD, making the district older than Bristol itself. Originally it was a Somerset town beside the Malago river. East & West street have been thoroughfares since records began and are likely among the oldest roads in Britain.

The medieval town of Bristol was once surrounded by a defensive stone wall. As Bristol expanded, this wall was gradually demolished and a modern city built over it. From this viewing point on Rivergate, Temple Quay you can see part of the 1250 built portwall beneath the street.

The historic Seven Stars pub on Thomas Lane became, in 1787 the residence of abolitionist Thomas Clarkson who, with the landlord of the pub, began interviewing local sailors and merchants involved in the slave trade and gathering their tales of inhumane & barbaric treatments. 1/2

2/2 When these tales were presented to the public and to Parliament the abolitionist movement fully took hold as a nationwide cause and the ball was set in motion for the Slave Trade Act of 1807 which ended Britain’s (direct) involvement in the trade.

This beautiful, sad grave (featuring head & foot stones) in Henbury churchyard belongs to the enslaved man named Scipio Africanus (1702-1720). He was born to West African parents and sold into the “ownership” of a Bristol family. Almost nothing more is known about his short life.

The Wills Memorial Building was completed in 1925 (after a laborious construction period that was stalled many times). Among the builders working on it was Harry Patch (1898-2009) “The Last Fighting Tommy” - the longest surviving combat soldier of any nation to fight in WWI.

This weekend the wait is over, ice hockey season officially returns! As an official partner of the Cardiff Devils we wish our friends all the best before the start of their 2025-26 campaign. #ProudSponsors #CardiffDevils #LetsGoDevils

Until 1923, this unusual looking building on Prewitt St (now a restaurant) was a 60ft conical chimney which was used as a glass kiln. Bristol once had dozens of these kilns for turning the sand of the Redcliffe caves into glass. This was the last to be put out of use.

In 2017 a long standing Bristol rumour was proven to be true. Vale Street in Totterdown was officially declared the steepest residential street in England. It has an average incline of 22 degrees. Cars have to be parked diagonally to prevent them from rolling down the hill.

The Chocolate Path - the picturesque path along the New Cut - originally opened in 1906 as a railway line connecting the Bristol Harbourside Railway to Temple Meads via Ashton Bridge. It earned its nickname because the paving slabs along the path resemble bars of chocolate.

This indent along the wall of Leonard’s Lane (just off of Small Street) was caused by centuries of carts bringing their goods to market along the medieval lane and scraping along the bricks on their way. Traders would bring their goods to St Nicholas Market from around the county

Great achievement by our friend and sponsored Cardiff Devils player Sam Duggan From all of us at RMB RMB Hydroseeding, congratulations Sam 👏👏👏 #ProudSponsors #LetsGoDevils
