Publisher's Synopsis
Once England's second city, Bristol is still the commercial, retail and distribution centre for the whole of the South West. The city's long and fascinating history has been the subject of many books, one of the most successful being the same author's Bristol: A Pictorial History (1991). Now he has greatly expanded the narrative of that book into a full, detailed account, combined with a fine selection of carefully-chosen illustrations, and provides a striking and highly authoritative exploration of every aspect of the unique history of this particularly interesting city.
