A full colour map, where the city in about 1480 is shown against a
background of a detailed Ordnance Survey of the early 20th century.
In 1480, a high-ranking official called William Worcestre revisited
his native city of Bristol and wrote a detailed description of all
the streets and their buildings and the activities that went on
there. Worcestre's description, combined with archaeological
information and historical research, has allowed the recreation in
map form of the city at that time. It was a prosperous and growing
city, already trading extensively with Europe and poised to start a
new trade with the Americas. Its merchant houses, churches and
largely vanished city walls show a town that was easily one of the
top five in England in the late Middle Ages. The map's cover has a
short introduction to the city in 1480 and an explanation of who
William Worcestre was. On the reverse is an illustrated and
comprehensive gazetteer of Bristol's main sites of medieval
interest. Produced in association with the University of Bristol.
