  • Press Fact Sheet – Literary Bristol
    Destination Bristol 53 Queen Square I Bristol I BS1 4LH I www.VisitBristol.co.uk Media Contact: [email protected] I Tel: 0117 946 2203 PRESS FACT SHEET – LITERARY BRISTOL As you wander through the streets of Bristol it is easy to see how writers have been inspired by this beautiful and diverse city. Bristol is well known for being the birthplace of Robert Southey. Southey, a close friend of Wordsworth and Coleridge, whom he met in Bristol, later became a Poet Laureate. Although he only spent his early years living in Bristol, his time here had a lifelong influence on his work. William Wordsworth was also influenced by Bristol, it is said that he wrote the famous poem 'Lines Composed a Few Miles above Tintern Abbey' in Bristol at the house of Joseph Cottle who owned a book shop on the High Street. Samuel Taylor Coleridge launched his magazine, 'The Watchman,' in Bristol in 1795 at The Rummer hotel, in the heart of the Old City. Not all the poetry in Bristol has a happy history. The young Bristolian Thomas Chatterton, now a respected and revered contributor to Britain's literary past, was born and brought up near Redcliffe, where his family had held the office of sexton at St Mary Redcliffe for nearly 200 years. Educated at Colston's School, Chatterton later moved to London to find fame and wealth. After finding that he was not fitting in with his peers and failing to get his poems published, he took his own life at the young age of 17.

  • The Patients of the Bristol Lunatic Asylum in the Nineteenth Century 1861-1900
    THE PATIENTS OF THE BRISTOL LUNATIC ASYLUM IN THE NINETEENTH CENTURY 1861-1900 PAUL TOBIA A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of the West of England, Bristol for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Arts, Creative Industries and Education March 2017 Word Count 76,717 1 Abstract There is a wide and impressive historiography about the British lunatic asylums in the nineteenth century, the vast majority of which are concerned with their nature and significance. This study does not ignore such subjects but is primarily concerned with the patients of the Bristol Asylum. Who were they, what were their stories and how did they fare in the Asylum and how did that change over our period. It uses a distinct and varied methodology including a comprehensive database, compiled from the asylum records, of all the patients admitted in the nineteenth century. Using pivot tables to analyse the data we were able to produce reliable assessments of the range and nature of the patients admitted; dispelling some of the suggestions that they represented an underclass. We were also able to determine in what way the asylum changed and how the different medical superintendents altered the nature and ethos of the asylum. One of these results showed how the different superintendents had massively different diagnostic criteria. This effected the lives of the patients and illustrates the somewhat random nature of Victorian psychiatric diagnostics. The database was also the starting point for our research into the patients as individuals. Many aspects of life in the asylum can best be understood by looking at individual cases.

  • Agenda Item 11 Bristol City
    AGENDA ITEM 11 BRISTOL CITY COUNCIL CABINET 4 October 2012 REPORT TITLE: Governance Options Appraisal, Bristol Museums, Galleries & Archives Ward(s) affected by this report: Citywide Strategic Director: Graham Sims, Interim Chief Executive Rick Palmer, Interim Strategic Director Neighbourhoods and City Development Report author: Julie Finch, Head of Museums, Galleries & Archives Contact telephone no. 0117 9224804 & e-mail address: [email protected] Report signed off by Simon Cook executive member: Leader Purpose of the report: This report outlines the governance option proposed for the Bristol Museums, Galleries & Archives Services (BMGA). This report is led by the recommendations of the Select Committee Report that gained all party support in November 2009. The report identifies the most suitable model of governance for BMGA to support an improvement strategy and optimise enterprise activity creating a more sustainable future for the service and meet demand. RECOMMENDATION for Cabinet approval: 1. To agree in principle to the transfer of the BMGA to an independent trust at the existing funding levels of £3.7m subject to an agreed business case. 2. To adopt the governance model that will be a single independent museums trust, closely bound into the BCC family through specified interfaces and trustee compositions. Staff would become employees of the new organisation. The major assets will remain the property of the Council. 3. To agree to the implementation of phased approach to a change in governance 1 whereby Bristol City Council (BCC) delivers BMGA activities through a company limited by guarantee with charitable status. 4. To develop the business plan that will frame the transfer and all associated interfaces, service level agreements and entrustment agreements.
