Bristol is a city of contrasts with its old buildings and the history associated with the city and then the new developments of offices and shops. Many of the original settlers in America sailed from Bristol. One of its famous inhabitants was John Cabot who, in the 15th century, set sail for unknown lands to the west in search of new trading routes. This was North America and it was after this that many new items were being imported to England, such as cocoa, tobacco and wine. In turn wool and leather were exported from Bristol. Its docks grew in size and in the 19th century Isambard Kingdom Brunel designed two steamships (Great Britain and Great Western) which were built in Bristol. He was later asked to build a suspension bridge to cross the Avon at Clifton. Lack of finance caused the project to be delayed and was not finished until after Brunel’s death.
Sadly, during the second world war, Bristol was heavily bombed and many of its historic buildings were destroyed. In their place arose many modern looking glass and concrete buildings. Some of its old churches survive, however, including the cathedral on College Green which was founded in the 12th century as part of an abbey. It became a cathedral about 400 years later and has a very fine chapter house built during the Norman period.
Bristol is home to a popular university which was founded in 1925, and also houses Britain’s oldest working theatre, the Theatre Royal which was opened in the late 18th century. It is situated in King Street, a cobbled street lined with many attractive old buildings. Outside the Exchange in old Bristol which was built in the 18th century are 4 bronze pillars, called ‘nails’, and this is where the merchants and traders used to complete their transactions (hence the saying ‘paying on the nail’).
There is a belief that the inn on King Street called Llandoger Trow, built in 1664, was the haunt of pirates and that Robert Louis Stevenson based his character Long John Silver’s drinking place in his novel ‘Treasure Island’ on this.
You will find many shops large and small in Bristol, but we are sure that without stepping out of your house and venturing into town, you will be able to find some stunning wedding jewellery for your special day.
