About Bristol
About Bristol
Local History of Bristol
Pre 20th Century History
To compensate for the loss in trade, the city developed a range of manufacturing industries, making it a target for WWII bombing which devastated the centre. Typically, much reconstruction was unfortunate and it is only in the last decade that Bristol has regained its prosperity thanks mainly to the aerospace, communications, and design industries.
Modern History
Today's Bristol is the hub of the southwest region. Restored warehouses contain cool cafes and galleries while a lively modern music scene continues to blaze a global trail. Its growing student population and young demographic ensures the clubs and bars are always buzzing and you'll never be short of entertainment.
