| One of the city's longest-running community sites is Jezza's Guide to Bristol. Set up in 1998, it is a goldmine of information about the city, ranging from the docks to theatre and music, and even great places to take walks outside the city. The site has been put together by Jeremy McNeill, who as well as being (according to his resume!) a thespian, has also written about Bristol's harbourside.  Webmaster Jeremy McNeill |
Jezza's book, Bristol's Harbourside - A Guide to the City Docks, is even available on Amazon. The site is nicely sectioned up, with links to a whole manner of useful resources. The information about the harbourside is extremely extensive. There is a whole interactive harbourside map, where you can mouse over and click to get more information. You can read a whole section of views, facts and information about the new Canon's Marsh project. Jezza has even linked to BBC Bristol's new harbourside mini-site, so he's in our good books!
Stomping
I particularly liked the 'Great Places for a Walk' section, only because the Cotswolds (my stomping ground!) is included. Finally, there's an in-depth section on Bristol's involvement in the slave trade. There are links to some very good resources if you want to read up part of Bristol's worst historical moments.
This is a good site - I often find myself here rooting around for things to read.
If you have a spare hour, take a look. It will be an educating read, I guarantee it.
