Ever since it was the starting point for voyages of discovery to
the New World, the old port of Bristol has boasted a wealth of
taverns, inns, alehouses, and public houses. Most of the older
drinking establishments that have survived have stories to tell -
frequently quirky or surprising, but always interesting and often
with nautical links. Some involve real historical figures such as
Daniel Defoe and Alexander Selkirk, the model for Robinson Crusoe,
while others are connected with fictional characters like Long John
Silver. And some were used by smugglers, press gangs, privateers
and out-and-out pirates. Local author James MacVeigh takes the
reader on a fascinating journey through some of Bristol's oldest
and most notorious watering holes. He explores their histories and
hidden secrets and tells of the many characters that have
frequented or run the city's public houses.
