Bristol's history is packed with peculiar customs and curious
characters. This book explains why the vicar in one church goes on
an annual trek to peer down a manhole; why captains of industry
sing an eighteen-verse song in memory of Queen Elizabeth I; and how
the Flower of Bristol got its name. You will meet some unusual
contraptions, like the bed with in-built exercise equipment, or the
thrashing machine for naughty boys. You will also discover why a
public clock still runs to Bristol time. This compendium of the
weird and wonderful will surprise even those Bristolians who
thought they really knew their city.
