Clifton Suspension Bridge

In 1754, merchant William Vick left £1000 (about £135,000 today) with instructions that the money should be invested to build a bridge across the Avon Gorge. Seventy-seven years later, it had earned enough interest to pay for one. A competition was launched to find a design in 1829. It was eventually won by the young Isambard Kingdom Brunel with a stunning (and some said impossible) suspension-bridge concept.

The famous
Clifton Suspension Bridge, which spans the spectacular Avon Gorge, is one of
Bristol’s iconic symbols and, perhaps, the most easily recognised visual image
of the city. It is a Grade I listed structure and was designed by Isambard
Kingdom Brunel. Work began on building the bridge in 1831 but it was so
hampered by political and financial difficulties that by 1843 the project was
abandoned, with only the towers on either side of the gorge completed. Brunel
did not live to see his creation finished, but the bridge was completed and
finally opened in 1864, as a memorial to him.

The bridge
spans 214 metres between its two 26 metre high towers and stands 76 metres
above the high water mark of the River Avon. Although
originally designed for pedestrian and horse-drawn traffic, it still meets the
demands of motorised traffic and is part of a busy commuter route in and out of
the city.
Bristol Rugby Football Club

For Bristol Rugby fan Ana, the level of passion seen at matches is unrivalled. 'We are all in it together and I find myself talking to complete strangers about what is going to happen.'

She can remember only one occasion when her gender has made any difference. 'Once a guy overheard me talking and was surprised at my knowledge of the game. But he was impressed by my opinions. I don't think he'd met many female fans.'

Ana has seen many funny things happen at matches. Crowd members often dress up in fancy dress and on several occasions people have streaked across the pitch, always taken in good humour by the crowd.

Ana remembers that the atmosphere at Bristol's winning match on December 2007 was particularly exhilarating:

'It was a really cold, wet and horrible evening but the match was so exciting that we did not care. Just before time was up there were two points between us and Gloucester. Completely out of the blue, our fly-half scored the most amazing drop-goal. We were all ecstatic. My daughter was clapping so hard that she had to take some painkillers when she got home! We were all on such a high for the next few days. Being a Bristol Rugby fan is really part of my identity now, watching games and enjoying the experience takes up a big chunk of my leisure time and I am proud to be part of it.'
Pistol M1911

An image of an Pistol M1911

## Appearance

The Pistol M1911, or simply the "M1911", is a common pistol with a full grey steel frame and textured wooden grip covers. The M1911 does not have any equipable attachments. The M1911 uses 9x19mm rounds loaded into an M1911 Magazine with a magazine capacity of 7 rounds.

## Location

The M1911 can be found in virtually every location except Cave and Bunker, usually within the top main drawer of wooden desks.

## Notes

* Despite the M1911 classically being known as a semi automatic pistol, by pressing "F" you can switch to fully automatic.
* While it is interesting, the fully automatic firing mode is not wise to use due to the M1911's small magazine capacity.
Alexander Family Bike

At the age of 2 1/2, Mervyn Alexander (junior) began a brief but impressive cycling career.

His father, Mervyn (senior) had been an engineer for Bristol Aeroplane Company whose passion for motorcycles led him to win test races on Douglas motorcycles, before establishing his own company "Alexander Motorbikes" in Bristol.

Mervyn  jr. was given a series of cleverly crafted miniature vehicles his father made for him to play with, from a bicycle side-car which he rode in as a baby, through to open-topped cars and a penny farthing. His favourite, however, was a tiny mountain bike without stabilisers on which he first learned to ride and do clever tricks.

The bike needed to be strong enough to survive the wheelies, tricks and jumps that little Mervyn enjoyed. After the frame repeatedly broke it was improved with telescopic wheel forks, a key feature in mountain bikes today, but state-of-the-art for its time, and unique in such a little bike.

Mervyn's cycling career was short-lived. He quickly outgrew his much-loved bicycle but his home-made bicycle was so well built and fondly kept that his own son Scott learned to ride on it in 1969 and then his grandson Max  in 2007.

The bike is now waiting until the youngest member of the Alexander family, Thomas, born April 2007, is ready to ride it again.
Hill's Cast Iron Bridge

(Two cast-iron bridges were built over the New Cut (dug 1804-1809): Hill's on Bath Road and Harford's on Bedminster Road. The Bath Road Bridge had long been questioned - it had already collapsed once during its construction in 1806, and rebuilt without amending the design. When the steamboat John collided with it in March 1855 the impact was devastating. It was a harsh lesson in the new art of cast-iron bridge building and cost two people their lives. Contemporary newspapers reported:

The force of the collision was so great that, notwithstanding the power of a very strong ebb tide, the steamer rebounded eight or ten feet, and the bridge immediately fell with a tremendous crash, carrying with it everything that happened to be upon it at the time of the occurrence. Of the extent to which life was sacrificed it is impossible as yet to speak with accuracy. Three or four persons swam to the banks, and were got out alive, but it is said that a woman with a child in her arms, and two ladies, who were seen struggling in the water, are missing, as also a little girl, who was seen close to the bridge, and who, it is believed, was upon it. Two carts were thrown by the fall, and one or two of the horses drowned.

Illustrated London News, 24, March 1855.

The present bridge was built in the 1880s with another alongside it in the 1960s.
Ashton Court

=== The Ashton Court estate was bought by John Smyth in1545 and the Grade I
listed mansion house provided a home to the family until the death of the last
occupant, Dame Esmé Smyth, in 1946. The estate was bought by Bristol City
Council in 1959 and its Grade II registered landscape of 850 acres of woodland
and grassland was developed as a country park and recreational area for the
people of Bristol. It is specialist events venue and plays host to the
world-famous Bristol Balloon Fiesta
each year. ===
Banksy

This person is on display in the Contributing Wrap in the People Gallery

The
true identity of Banksy remains a closely guarded
secret. A network of myths has sprung up around him: that his real name is
Robin Banks, he used to be a butcher, he is Robin Gunningham, a former public schoolboy
from Bristol with a passion for art, or that Banksy is actually a collective of
artists and therefore does not exist at all. Banksy's refusal to reveal himself
may have started to avoid prosecution for what might be regarded as vandalism,
however, by remaining anonymous he has created an air of mystery which has
helped him to become one of the most successful artists of his generation.

Banksy began as a freehand graffiti artist (he didn’t use stencils) between
1990 and 1994. He was part of a larger Bristol underground scene with artists
such as, Nick Walker, Inkie and 3D.
During this time, he met Bristol photographer Steve Lazarides, who began
selling Banksy's work and later became his agent. By 2000, he had turned to the
art of stenciling after realizing how much less time it took to complete a
work. He claims he changed to stenciling while hiding from the police under a
rubbish lorry and noticed the stenciled serial number.  Banksy's first known large wall mural was ‘The
Mild, Mild West’ painted in 1997 in Stokes Croft Avenue, Bristol. It depicts a
teddy bear lobbing a Molotov cocktail at three riot police.

Banksy's stencils feature striking and humorous images occasionally
combined with slogans. The message is usually anti-war, anti-capitalist or
anti-establishment. His subjects include rats, apes, policemen, soldiers,
children, and the elderly.

His works include: Mild Mild West ,

In July 2011, one of Banksy's early works, ‘Gorilla in a Pink Mask’, a prominent landmark on the exterior
wall of social club in Eastville, Bristol
for over ten years, was unwittingly painted over after the premises became a
Muslim cultural centre.

"Bristol Milk"

Have you heard the term " Bristol Milk" ? This is a definition :

According to the *Oxford English Dictionary*, Bristol Milk is first recorded in 1634. Our old friend Samuel Pepys was in the city in 1668, and mentioned in his diary on June 13th that he was much satisfied with a “good entertainment of strawberries, a whole venison-pastry, cold, and plenty of brave wine, and above all, Bristol Milk.”

But what, exactly, *is* Bristol Milk? Here are a couple of accounts of the famous beverage:

The Beer brewed thereof is wholesome against the *Spleen*. If it should chance that the Crudity of the Waters trouble the Stomach, there is a remedy in this City, and that is *Bristol Milk*, (a Prov.) or Sherry-Sack, which the *Courteous Inhabitants* present to all Strangers, when first visiting their City.

*Anglorum speculum: or The worthies of England, in church and state*, Thomas Fuller (1684)

“The hospitality of the city was widely renowned, and especially the collations with which the sugar refiners regaled their visitors. The repast was dressed in the furnace, and was accompanied by a rich brewage made of the best Spanish wine, and celebrated over the whole kingdom as *Bristol milk*. This luxury was supported by a thriving trade with the North American plantations and with the West Indies. The passion for colonial traffic was so strong that there was scarce a small shopkeeper in Bristol who had not a venture on board of some ship bound for Virginia or the Antilles. Some of these ventures indeed were not of the most honourable kind.”

History of England, Thomas Macaulay (1848)

# Bristol Milk (Grose 1811 Dictionary)

## Bristol Milk

A Spanish wine called sherry, much drunk at that place, particularly in the morning.

Definition taken from *The 1811 Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue*, originally by Francis Grose.

Brisket Beater \* Bristol Man
S.S. Ettrick

The wreck of the ss Ettrick in 1924 illustrated the hazards of the tidal River Avon,
 including its strong currents and shifting mud banks. The harbour has
always been a difficult place for large ships to negotiate without
specialist local knowledge and mistakes could be very costly. Bristol
was partly superseded by ports like Liverpool and Glasgow, which are not
 tidal and therefore easier for large ships to reach, for this very
reason.

Bert Gray was just a
child when the steamship Ettrick ran aground but he remembered the
incident in detail, '... everybody in Pill had a new pair of boots, 'cos
 that was what she had. And we'd done pretty well with sweets and
chocolates and things, because that was ... her cargo.'

Crossing the River

For many years, the best way to cross the tidal River Avon was by a series of ferries. The furthest downstream was at Pill, crossing to the Lamplighters Inn on the Gloucestershire bank, until it closed in 1973. Bridges have now replaced many of these.

In 1528 Thomas Alye claimed the right to operate a ferry at Rownham in competition with the long-established one run by the abbot of St Augustines. Alye undercut the abbot's prices in an effort to get the business, charging 1/4d (0.10p) for foot passengers and 1/2d (0.25p) for riders and their horses. The abbot took decisive action to stop this, sending his servants to seize the rival boat. Alye took his case to the Court of Star Chamber, where the circumstances of the seizure were debated; Alye claimed that the seizure had been carried out in a violent and riotous manner, whilst the abbot denied this. It appears that the abbot won the case, as the ferry remained in his hands, and later passed to the Dean and Chapter of the Cathedral. The fact that he was prepared to take such decisive action illustrates the importance of the ferry at the time.

Rownham ferry continued to operate until 1932, having been moved slightly upstream from its traditional location when new entrance locks for the Harbour were built in the 1870s.
Ernie Bevin

Labour
politician and union organiser

Orphaned
at eight, Ernest Bevin started work on the Bristol Docks at age eleven. He
joined the Dockers’ Union and was instrumental in setting up the Transport and
General Workers’ Union. As Minister for Labour during the Second World War, he
transformed Britain into a war economy. During his term as Foreign Secretary
from 1945, he became one of the most important creators of the post-war world.

Between
the 1920s and 1950s, Bevin was a central figure in the British Labour movement
and in British foreign policy, serving as foreign secretary in the late 1940s.

Bevin
was born on 9 March 1881 in Somerset. At just the age of 11, he started work in
the Bristol docks and showed a gift for organisation. He became involved in the
Dockers' Union and was instrumental in the creation of the Transport and
General Workers Union where he became general secretary in 1922. He brought
together men and women from a wide range of jobs into a single integrated
union, one of his greatest achievements.

Bevin
was a leading figure in the development of Labour Party strategy and ideology,
despite being outside of parliament. In 1940, Bevin was appointed Minister of Labour
by Winston Churchill in the wartime coalition government. Bevin transformed
Britain into a total war economy, where human and material resources were
focused on the war effort.

In 1945, Bevin became Foreign Secretary for Prime
Minister Clement Attlee. He was the lead in developing the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation in
1949 and aided the US to shape the Marshall Plan in its early stages.
Richard Long

Richard Long is a photographer, sculptor, painter and a user of text. He became associated with Land Art in the 1970's.He was born in Bristol in 1945 where he still lives and works today. He studied art in Bristol and in London at St Martins School of Art. He has been shortlisted for the Turner Prize four times and won it in 1989.

His art practice involves walking - he marks the ground or adjusts natural features. He usually works in the landscape but also uses natural materials (mud,wood and stone) in the gallery - an example can be found in the west foyer at MShed. For this work he applied wet mud from the River Avon directly onto the wall with his hands (see image - creating the "River Avon Muddy Water Circle, 2011)

In 2015 (June to November) Richard Long has a major show at Arnolfini and a commission on the Downs called "Boyhood Line".
Joseph Storrs Fry

Joseph Storrs
Fry developed the manufacturing side of the business.  He was an innovator who patented his method
of grinding cocoa beans using a steam engine.

In 1822
Joseph’s three sons Joseph, Francis and Richard joined the firm – it was
renamed J. S. Fry & Sons, which it remained until well into the twentieth
century.
Merchants Hall

*The interior of the building is depicted in the painting 'The Trial of Colonel Brereton After the Bristol Riots 1831', by Rolinda Sharples, which is displayed in the Protesting section in the People Gallery.*

The Society of Merchant Venturers consisted of Bristol's richest and most powerful merchants. It was granted granted independence by Royal Charter in 1552 and needed premises to hold meetings and attend to business. Initially they established themselves in the old and somewhat spartan chapel of St Clement. John Latimer, who wrote a history of the society in 1903, described the Merchants' Hall as follows:

There was no covering for the floor, no table cutlery, and no drinking vessels. Eighteen "joyned stools" seem to have been provided for present and past officers; ordinary members were seated upon five homely wooden benches; but thirty-eight cushions, new and old, may have made the planks more comfortable. The walls were decorated with a carving of the royal arms, and coloured emblazonments of the arms of the Prince, the Society, and the City.

In 1720 the building was extensively remodelled and extended to provide a grand and ornate Great Hall and Withdrawing Room - it was an opulent building that advertised the society's power and influence. The hall was used for public banquets, celebration dinners and other civic functions but was destroyed in 1940 during an air raid. Its replacement is situated on The Promenade, Clifton.

The Merchants Hall was used as the venue for the trail of Col.Thomas Brereton after the 1831 reform riots. The interior of this building is depicted in the painting by Rolinda Sharpes of that trial.
Game of Hopscotch

Hopscotch is rumored to have been invented by the Romans, in order to train their army. The soldiers would hop through the courses, which would be 100 feet in length, in full armor to build their endurance and keep them fit.

☀Roman children drew their own smaller courts in imitation of the soldiers, added a scoring system and "Hopscotch" spread throughout Europe. The word "London" is often written at the top of hopscotch courts to make the court reminiscent of the Great North Road, a 400 mile Roman road from Glasgow to London frequently used by the Roman military. However, some claim that the Chinese created the game. Supposedly, earlier variations of hopscotch in China, involved boxes drawn in to the ground, with a puck to represent a soul and the object of the game to reach heaven.

Indeed, with all these theories, the earliest recorded reference to hopscotch was in 1677! The game was titled ‘Scotch-Hoppers’ by Poor Robin’s Almanac in 1707, and was an all boys’ game. But there are many different names for hopscotch, including ‘Hop-Score’ in Yorkshire, ‘Scotch Hobby’ in Suffolk where boys would hold another boy on their back while hopping through the course, and in North Britain, ‘Peevers’ or ‘Pabats’. In India, it is called Stapu.
Ambulance driver

This information is on display in the Moving by Emergency Vehicles Display in Places Gallery

Traffic congestion is an issue in Bristol and many other cities around the UK. Because many hospitals are based in city centres, the problem is particularly bad for ambulances and driving them at high speed is a challenge.

Paramedic Sarah Jenkins leads a double life. Half the time she's an average Bristol motorist, inching her way through the city. The rest of the time she's either at the wheel or in the back of a great big ambulance but although Sarah is technically trained to drive an ambulance at high speed, it's not actually a skill she gets to practise. She says 'Sometimes you just have to switch off the lights and sirens because the cars can't move out of your way. There's nowhere to go. It's total chaos. We call it ambulance surfing. You're in the back trying to resuscitate a patient or inject drugs and keep your balance while the ambulance is twisting and turning and going over speed bumps. And then your colleague has to slam on the brakes and you get thrown onto the floor - or even the patient.' In the years she has worked for Great Western Ambulance Service, Sarah has noticed a big increase in Bristol congestion. But it's not just the extra cars on the road that turn 999 call-outs into an obstacle course. A rise in road works, bad parking, road layout changes, speed bumps and other traffic calming schemes, also pose a challenge.

historic significance. Along with fellow trust members, she directly saved and
restored key historic buildings in Bristol including two houses in St Michael's
Hill, several buildings in Old Market, and the Chesnuts in Brislington, as well
as a merchant’s house and coach house in Frome. In 1984, she bought Acton Court
in Iron Acton, now regarded as one of the most important Tudor buildings in
Britain.

Throughout
her career, she wrote extensively; some of her publications include, ‘Rediscovering
Acton Court and the Poyntz Family’, ‘Canons' Marsh’, ‘Avon Heritage - The
North: The Vale and the Forest’, ‘Just look at Bristol!’, and ‘Bristol and How
it Grew’.

Dorothy
showed a total passion and drive for saving Bristol’s buildings and she campaigned
right up until her death in 2013.

Clara Butt

(1872–1936), singer

Dame Clara Butt was the nearest thing to a superstar celebrity in the 1890s. From humble beginnings as a Totterdown schoolgirl, singing to patients at the Bristol Royal Infirmary, she became a world-famous concert singer, celebrated by royalty and adored by millions. She made her professional début at the Royal Albert Hall in 1892. She had a commanding physical presence – she was six feet two inches tall – and a powerful contralto voice which suited the many anthems that she sang, including ‘Rule, Britannia’ and ‘Land of Hope and Glory’.

Anecdote

In March, 2015, the great nephew of Clara Butt came to Bristol from Canada. They visited MShed to look at her painting and the other objects on display and visited Totterdown to look at where she lived.
Nagorny

## Terrain

Nagorny is a small area, the smallest in the game. It has only one town of a few houses around the center. The main road is very linear, and it has no real distinctive features, except for a fork near the beginning. It is marked by three water towers. The left fork heads to Marsh, and the right fork heads to a crashed plane, next to the entrance to Bunker.

## Threat

The only threat present in Nagorny is a single pack of three wolves in the town
Clifton

**Clifton** is a neighbourhood of Central Bristol. It is located north of Hotwells and south of The Downs. It's architecture is predominantly Georgian with a smattering of Victorian and modern buildings.
It was originally a small village well outside of Bristol but as Bristol grew it became an ideal place for the wealthy to settle as its position put it upwind of the Floating Harbour and most of the industry in the city.
Ashton Court Festival

Starting as a small
one-day event in 1974, the Ashton Court Festival grew into probably Britain's
largest free festival. Run by volunteers, it retained a community feel and
attracted fans of all ages with its mix of music, performance, local crafts and
the slightly whacky too.

‘Someone I know set
up a 'disinformation' stand one year and gave out wholly incorrect maps to
people. Some of them came back quite annoyed later on and had to have the sign
pointed out to them!’   Jackie

‘I remember the atmosphere
was electrifying - by the end of the night everyone was in such high spirits,
streams of people were flowing down floodlit walkways through the hillside, all
singing and dancing.’   Mark
Bristol Childrens Hospital

My memories of the children's hospital are of bright, vibrant walls, and symmetrical patterns.  In particular a row of circular windows from which I could look onto the street outside.

Elly Barnett, 2010

Bristol Children's Hospital was the first hospital in the UK to be designed from a child's point of view.

Pioneering hospital care for children in Bristol began in one room in 1866. It later moved to a larger building on St Michael's Hill, where it remained until Bristol Children's Hospital moved to its new home on Upper Maudlin Street in 2001.

The new hospital explores the healing potential of art inside and out. It is family-friendly, has nurses' stations at child height, bright colours on all floors, child friendly wavy lines and individual rooms.  It is a place where children can recover better, in a fun and interesting setting.

12 million of the 30 million pounds needed to create this new state of the art building was raised with help from 'Wallace & Grommit's Grand Appeal'.
East Street Tobacco Factory

This information, including a painting of the former factory (1983 - showing the space left by the demolished part, now ASDA) and a dinner menu and programme from its 1886 opening, can be found in the Places Gallery.

Photographs of the factory can be seen in the Bedminster neighbourhood section in the Places Gallery.

portraits of Wills employees William Masters Davies and Miss Ellen Williams are on display in the Life Gallery.

Technological advances and higher demands for tobacco led Wills to build a new factory on Bedminster's East Street. This new type of building for a new way of working was designed by Frank Wills to maximise efficiency and ensure staff well-being. It was the major employer in South Bristol until it closed in 1972.

The new factory was opened on 27 March 1886. It revolutionised production and working conditions and changed the appearance of Bedminster.

Dinner menu and programme, 1886:

Around 900 Wills employees attended the opening festivities of Wills's East Street factory, which included a high tea, speeches, a tour of the new works, an evening concert and a dance.
FN FAL

Some of the information on this page refers to old or outdated versions of the game

## Appearance

The FN FAL is a very rare rifle that has a grey receiver with a grey-green wooden stock, grip, and hand guard. It is currently unknown whether the FN FAL has any equipable attachments. The FN FAL uses 7.62x51mm rounds loaded into an FN FAL Magazine with an unknown magazine capacity.

## Location

As of now, the only known location for this weapon to spawn is in Factory, on the roof of a small church looking building outside of the physical factory itself.

## Notes

* This gun, along with all other content added after the .868 Update, was removed from the game in the September 1, 2016 Rollback.
Henleaze Swimming Lake

There aren't many people who have the opportunity to swim in the open air in a natural setting so close to the city centre but this is certainly the case at Henleaze Lake in North Bristol.

Dot Ridley, a pre-World War 2 member, commented in 1995 'On a recent visit to Bristol I went to see if it was really like my memory - and it is! Amazingly very little has changed - the same languid, quiet, peaceful atmosphere ...'.

Henleaze Lake is a former quarry that was allowed to flood with spring water. It became a popular place for swimming especially from 1919 under the auspices of Henleaze Swimming Club. The club purchased the lake in 1933 and improved the site over several years with stone banks and diving towers. Championship swimming events, life saving competitions and water polo matches all took place there but activity declined after the 1950s and by 1966 membership had fallen to an all-time low. First the championships stopped and then the water polo. An indoor section continued to thrive however and formally adopted a new name 'Bristol Henleaze Swimming Club' (BHSC) in 1993 although its links with the lake were maintained and competitive Open Water Championships returned there in the late 1990s.

The lake is now almost completely hemmed in by houses and hidden in a wooded setting with a profusion of wild plants, flowers and birdlife - a truly idyllic place to swim.

"... it will confirm its position as one of the most important local parks in Bedminster/Southville area and become a park that enhances the quality of life for local people, serving commmunity and recreational needs and enhancing the urban environment."

Bristol City Council Draft Development Plan, 2009

Greville Smyth Park was once part of the Ashton Court Estate.

During the mid-1800s, sanitation and overcrowding in Bristol became so insufferable that the need for public parkland became apparent. In 1881, Greville Smyth offered an area known as the Clift House estate (part of the Ashton Court estate) to the Corporation of Bristol. The area was renamed "The People's Park at Bedminster" and became the first substantial park created by the city. The next 30 years saw extensive development and many amenities were added but the park was simultaneously eroded by encroaching road and housing developments.

Greville Smyth Park continues to be a popular local community park, with recreational activities for all ages. Along with Bristol's other parks, it has its own local user group, 'FrOGS' (Friends of Greville Smyth Park) who have helped to revitalise the park. FrOGS have worked with the City Council on an improvement plan, which includes proposals for a new pavilion to house the bowls club, changing rooms for football, bowls and tennis, a community room and a refreshment kiosk. Many of Bristol's other parks also have their own dedicated groups working to enhance their local  urban environment.

'You say we have Clifton and Durdham Downs, but these are mainly for rich people that can afford to live in that neighbourhood: it would take us an hours walking after the hard toil of the day is over, to get to these beautiful spots, and then an hour to get home, thus making pleasure a toil'.

'The Cry of the Poor' being a 'letter from Sixteen Working Men of Bristol to Sixteen Aldermen of the City', November 1871.

Bristol's open spaces were transformed in the late 1800s by the creation of municipal parks in response to the need to improve the health and living conditions of its general populace.

In 1861 the Council had started to create Bristol's first large, public open space, the 'Downs', yet this was not easily available to all and a movement to create parks began. For the next twenty years working class organisations and liberal minded citizens rallied MPs and fought to establish many of Bristol's parks including Eastville Park which opened in 1889. This had resulted from a campaign to provide green space for the parish of St Phillips where in the 1870s there were over 1000 deaths per year (a rate higher than in any other district in Bristol). The Council eventually bought land for the park in 1889. Benches, shelters and paths were provided and extra facilities, such as a swimming pool, were gradually added.
1831 Reform Riots

In 1831 there were serious riots in Bristol, Derby and Nottingham. In Bristol crowds of people looted and burned down buildings, including the Mansion House, the Bishop's Palace and the New Gaol. The riots were a protest at the House of Lords preventing the Reform Bill from passing through Parliament. More people would have the right to vote if the Reform Bill became law.

Before the Reform Act of 1832 just 5% of the population in England and Wales had the right to vote.  The right to vote depended on a person's wealth: if you were a 40-shilling freeholder, (a small landowner), or wealthier, you were entitled to vote. Bristol had two MPs. Its population was 100,000.

The Bristol Riots were a reaction to the statement in Parliament of Bristol's Recorder (senior judge) Sir Charles Wetherell, that the people of Bristol were not in favour of reform. Actually, Bristol had gathered a petition of 17,000 signatures supporting the Reform Bill. Wetherell was also an MP for Boroughbridge, a 'Rotten Borough' in Yorkshire where just 48 men were eligible to vote.

Before Wetherell came on his annual visit to Bristol, public meetings were organised in Queen Square on 10th, 11th and 12th October. Demonstrators met Wetherell on his arrival in Bristol on 29th October, then full scale rioting broke out, and angry crowds of protesters held the city for two days.
The authorities had arranged for two troops of cavalry (soldiers on horseback), the 3rd and 14th Dragoons, as well as for special volunteer constables ('bludgeon boys') to control the crowd. When the crowd attacked the Council House in Corn Street near midnight on the Saturday, the 14th Dragoons charged.

Two men were killed and there was a short lull during which the Dragoons were withdrawn. The officer in command of the soldiers was Lieutenant-Colonel Brereton. He believed that some of the Dragoons were actually causing more trouble and ordered them away.

Wetherell escaped in disguise, some say as a woman but it is more likely that he was disguised as a postillion (coachman), while the crowds stayed, looting the wine cellar of the Mansion House and becoming drunk and reckless.  Over the next two days rioters broke into Bridewell Jail and Lawford's Gate Prison and set prisoners free. The Tollhouses, the Bishop's Palace and, in Queen Square, the Mansion House and the Custom House, were all attacked.

At dawn on Monday 31st October the destruction of the south side of Queen Square had begun when the 3rd Dragoons charged, bringing the rioting to a final and violent end.

It is uncertain how many people were killed during the Bristol Riots. Rioters were put on trial in January 1832. Seven were transported to Australia and 43 were imprisoned. Five others, Christopher Davies, Richard Vines, Joseph Kayes, William Clarke and Thomas Gregory, were sentenced to be hanged in front of the New Gaol. Vines was reprieved. Lieutenant-Colonel Brereton, who had sent the 14th Dragoons away on the Saturday night, was court-martialled, believed by many to be a scapegoat. Brereton's trial took place at Merchants Hall. Tragically he committed suicide before the trial was concluded.
Wills family

The Wills family and tobacco

Bristol was the largest centre for tobacco products in
Britain for a century before 1980. The Wills family pioneered the manufacture and
branding of machine-made cigarettes in the 1880s and their Woodbine brand
became the best-selling British cigarette. They introduced machine-made cigars,
Wills’s Whiffs, in the 1930s, as well as a hand-made range. Tobacco production
in Bristol came to an end in 2009.
Great Flood of 1607

Four hundred years ago, a disaster hit the southwest of the country as a huge surge of water gushed up the Bristol Channel killing 2,000 people.
Eyewitness accounts of the great flood of 30 January 1607 tell of  'huge and mighty hills of water' advancing at a speed 'faster than a greyhound can run' and only receding 10 days later.
The flood reached a speed of 30mph and a height of 25ft. It swept inland in the Bristol area, Somerset, north Devon, Pembrokeshire, Glamorgan, Monmouthshire and Cardiff.
Alan Goddard

(1955 - )

Alan Goddard is a Welshman recognised
in Bristol and the surrounding area for helping vulnerable adults. He is best
known in his role as the project manager of the Wild Goose Homeless Drop-in
Centre, part of the Crisis Centre Ministries in Easton, where he first worked as
a volunteer and then as a staff member from 2007. In this role, he has collaborated
with local public services, churches, charities and national rehabilitation
centres, and he is greatly respected and admired by those he works with and those
he helps.

He has a passion for seeing
peoples’ lives change for the better and is energised by working alongside
those who need help. Alan has helped and continues to help many people,
supporting them in their recovery from addiction. He never gives up on anyone
even when they relapse, because, in Alan’s eyes, there is always hope for every
individual. He has worked with many people over the years, and many return to
the Wild Goose to thank him for how their lives have turned around. Many times
one will hear ... “if it wasn’t for Alan, I would not be clean and sober
today.”

Alan has great compassion
for those coping with addiction and homelessness. His compassion is enhanced by
his own earlier suffering with these issues himself. Alan is always keen to
share how his Christian faith transformed his life and enabled him to help
others in a similar situation.

Jane Couch

(1968 - )

In
1998, Jane Couch became the first officially licensed female boxer. The
Fleetwood Assassin, as she became known, travelled the world winning 5 world
titles along the way.

Initially,
the British Boxing Board of Control refused to grant Couch a professional
licence on the sole ground that she was a woman. Fighting for gender equality,
she claimed sexual discrimination and supported by the Equal Opportunities
Commission, and managed to have this decision overturned in 1998.

Couch's
first major success occurred in only her fifth professional fight in 1996, when
she won the WIBF light welterweight title by outpointing France's Sandra Geiger
over ten rounds in Copenhagen, Denmark. Couch's first defence of her title was
against noted female boxer Andrea DeShong, who was stopped in seven rounds in
New Orleans, Louisiana in March 1997. In September 2003, at the Staples Centre,
Los Angeles, California, Couch lost on points over eight rounds to the highly
regarded Lucia Rijker of Holland. Her last fight, against Anne Sophie Mathis on
8 December 2007, resulted in a loss by technical knockout.

She
announced her retirement on 1 December 2008, saying she intended to continue as
a boxing promoter. At the time, she remarked, "Boxing has been my life for
a long time and it always will be, but I'm not going to miss getting my head
smashed in.”  She was honoured with the
MBE by Prince Charles in 2007.
Edward William Godwin

(1833–1886), architect and designer

Bristol-born Edward William Godwin was a progressive English
architect-designer, whose influence can be detected in the Arts and Crafts
Movement that flourished between
1880 and 1910. Apprenticed
to an engineer in Bristol, where his architectural training was largely
self-taught, Godwin moved to London about 1862, and made the acquaintance of
the reform Gothic designer William Burges.

Godwin designed extraordinary buildings, made furniture in the Anglo-Japanese style,
and produced wallpaper designs for Liberty's. He decorated Oscar Wilde's
apartment, designed costume for the theatre, and wrote extensively on a wide
range of subjects ranging from the unity of the arts to the problem of dust in
the domestic environment and was a frequent contributor to ‘British Architect’,
a magazine at the time.

After being widowed, he eloped with Ellen Terry, the most
famous actress of her generation and they had two children together. Their
affair ended when Ellen returned to the stage, prompting Godwin to marry a
young designer in his office called Beatrice Birnie Philip, with whom he stayed
with until his death in 1886.

Godwin’s most notable
works as an architect are the Guildhall in Northampton, a new entrance to the
Fine Art Society in Bond Street, London, and restoration and additions to
Drormore Castle in Limerick and Castle Ashby in Northamptonshire. In 1877, he
designed a house in Chelsea for fellow artist, James Whistler.
