How much do you know about Bristol? Why does it look the way it looks? What secrets do its streets hide? What stories could its buildings tell if they had a voice?Michael Manson takes you on a search to find the soul of the city where he has lived for more than 45 years.The Bristol Miscellany began as a compendium of random facts and has grown into a treasure trove of tales from the city’s rich and diverse history; from hidden rivers, medieval walls and public protests to links with slavery, prisons, and the treatment of mental illness.It’s a literary ‘curiosity shop’ of bitesize pieces of interest from Bristol’s past, from Britain’s first woman doctor to Bristol Cars.Dip in and learn things about Bristol you didn’t know before and perhaps you’ll not only see the city in a new light but be inspired to embark upon your own voyage of discovery.
