- Summary
- "This comprehensive guide covers the architectural riches of England's historic second port, with up-to-date accounts of every significant building. Bristol's medieval heritage includes a cathedral, many churches, and timber-framed houses large and small. Fine civic buildings and spectacular hilltop suburbs represent its Georgian heyday, and Brunel's Clifton Suspension Bridge and Great Western Railway station head the list of Victorian monuments. Detailed walks explore the outer areas and excursions to nearby attractions, and a scholarly narrative introduction. Colour photographs and extensive maps and plans make the book easy to use, both for reference and as a visitor's companion."--Jacket.
