In July we were delighted to welcome the Historical Society of Lower Saxony from Hannover. They spent a week in Bristol. The group also visited Bath, Wells and Glastonbury. Hannover has been Bristol’s twin city in Germany since 1947.

On 23rd July Rob did a talk at the University entitled ‘Bristol Gateway to the New World’ which included a discussion of the roots of Bristol’s prosperity and of course the links to the Slave Trade.

In the afternoon Rob led a three hour walking tour of the medieval city.

A very full day!
