This book also includes colorful maps to help identify the landmarks. My only complaint is that the Bristol Old Vic Theatre is not listed in the index under Theatre Royal. When reading about Theatre Royal, it is actually the former name before it closed in 1942 during World War II. It reopened as the Bristol Old Vic Theatre in 1946. I also actually wished there was more information listed here.
The author focuses on the city's architecture and history since the Royal Charter in the 1300s. The city is one of the country's seaports and has been for centuries.
Bristol is a beautiful English city. The book does a beautiful job in respecting and understanding the city's history. The book is a worthy asset in studying about Bristol, England.
