Some involve real historical figures such as Daniel Defoe and Alexander Selkirk, the model for Robinson Crusoe, while others are connected with fictional characters like Long John Silver. And some were used by smugglers, press gangs, privateers and out-and-out pirates.Local author James MacVeigh takes the reader on a fascinating journey through some of Bristols oldest and most notorious watering holes. He explores their histories and hidden secrets and tells of the many characters that have frequented or run the citys public houses.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Illustrated with memorable photographs throughout, Secret Bristol peels away the gloss which covers inconvenient historic events to reveal truths about the city that are sometimes horrific, brutal, or merely odd. From prehistory to the present, it takes us on a fascinating journey through th…e inhuman aspects of early trade, through slavery, piracy, struggles for social justice portrayed as criminal riots and the cruelties inflicted in city institutions. Bristols contribution to aircraft and automobile design and manufacture is chronicled, and the contempt felt for ordinary people by First World War generals and Whitehall bigwigs is exposed, as is the way opposition to the pointless conflict was swept under the carpet of history. The book describes how Bristols medieval heart, largely destroyed in the Blitz, was forgotten with the connivance of the government and finished off by post-war planners. The Whites Only employment policy on Bristol buses in the early 60s and the 1980 St Pauls riots take us up to Bristol today. Explore Bristol's secret history through a fascinating selection of stories, facts and photographs. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Hardcover / Hardback. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First edition. Hardback. The story of Graham Gaskin's life at the hands of the social services is shocking, thought-provoking and heart-rending. At the age of nine months, Graham is placed in the care of the Liverpool City Council because his mother has thr…own herself from the stern of the Wallasey ferryboat. He is the youngest of 3 children handed over to the local authority by a father who cannot find room for them. When Graham is 4, the social services decide to move him away from his first surrogate mother and, thereafter, he never stops moving. He is passed from foster parents who throw bucket of cold water on him when he is naughty to others who shut him out of their family life altogether, feed him their leftovers and expect him to search for receipts on the supermarket floor to inflate their demands on social services for his keep. He becomes tough as a tot and the first time Graham runs away he is 6yrs old. Though his father eventually houses his brother an sister, he closes his door to Graham because of truancy from school. Sometimes Graham sleeps in empty boxes behind Tesco's, as he will frequently in later years. At 9 he feels part of a community for the first time in his life at a psychiatric hospital where there is not a single other child. When psychologists decide he is of above average intelligence and has no serious personality disorder, he is wrenched from the hospital and although he pleads with his father to take him home, he is delivered to Blatchwick, a strictly regimented school for orphans. Here Graham comes up against a more thorough-going sadist than he is to meet at any remand home or borstal that lies ahead. At 10 he does the impossible and escapes, heading straight back to Liverpool. It is a pattern that establishes itself for years to come. Escape, the run from authorities, sleeping rough, capture, return to another form of prison. The fact that he has done nothing wrong makes him rebellious. Eventually Graham resorts to petty theft to prolong his time on the run. Approved schools become remand homes which eventually become borstals, and this book is, among other things, an account of British prisons not quickly to be forgotten. What is most striking throughout this mesmerising and horrific story is the spirit of a boy which refuses to be broken. Graham managed to lay hands on his social services file and took it to the offices of the 'Liverpool Echo' where he at last found allies who could help him fight back. His action for damages against the social services was begun soon after that. 261pp. 8vo. h/back. F. in Vg+ dw.
