Discovering Bristol’s Pirate Past - Bristol Quayside
We have visited Bristol in the South West of England a number of times and despite being a frequent visitor to the city it is surprising how many places we just ignore and walk past.
This time I (Mr W) took some time and tried the free ‘Bristol Quayside Adventure’ audio tour which you can find at
Just to confirm this is NOT a sponsored video, this was my own little trip.
There are also a number of other audio tours about Bristol which guide you through the history of the city.
The tour I chose takes you back to Bristol’s pirate past around the old city and harbour with stories about Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island, the real Robinson Crusoe and the privateers of 18th century Bristol.
The Bristol audio tours take about 1 to 2 hours to complete depending on how long you stop and are definitely worth giving a go.
The main stops on the Bristol Quayside Walk:
1:40 The Merchants Venturers Almshouses, King Street
2:44 The Theatre Royal, King Street
3:04 The Llandoger Trow
4:07 Welsh Back
4:49 Queen Square
6:01 Woodes Rogers, Merchant and Privateer
6:51 The Hole in the Wall pub
7:50 Redcliffe Caves
8:46 The Ostrich Inn
9:01 Bristol Harbour

Haunted Odeon Cinema
Have you ever watched a film in this cinema? Did you notice how cold it is in there? It might just have been a heating malfunction or, as they say in the business, a ‘cold spot’ – the presence of something supernatural.

Emergency Radio 97.9 FM Bristol - Daddgy G (Massive Attack) August 1988 Pirate
In late 87 or early 88, Paul Hassan and around 4 or 5 of his friends, who enjoyed going out partying on the Bristol underground scene and all enjoyed a lot of varied music, felt that there was a gap not being filled by the current pirates in Bristol. Paul and his friends thought that it would be great if somebody set up an alternative station that played a lot of the music they liked and heard that wasn't currently being played by stations that perhaps should have been playing it. This thought quickly turned into action. This was the birth of Emergency Radio 99.9FM.

Exploring Bristol & the Transatlantic Slave Trade part 1
The transatlantic slave trade, so-called because of the route taken by the slave ships across the Atlantic Ocean from Africa to the Caribbean and North America, had an enormous effect on Bristol. Between 1698 and 1807, a known 2,108 ships left Bristol for Africa to exchange goods for enslaved Africans and take them to the Caribbean. The profits from the trade made it even wealthier.
I walk through some of the city's infrastructural artifacts from that time.
Route used:
This trail explores a handful of the city’s seemingly everyday sights to uncover how Bristol’s slavery past still permeates life here 500 years on.
