Pirates, novels, explorers, Sherlock and Wallace and Gromit

Lofalitsidwa: 01.07.2018

Recently, parts of the new episodes of Sherlock with Benedict Cumberbatch were apparently filmed here, as it looks similar to London and there is not as much traffic. It's nice to know that there will be more episodes of the series! Remarkable is also the alley on the left side of the picture, Orchard Avenue. The slightly angled facade on both sides causes every sound in this alley to be distorted into an extremely special sound by a spiral echo :-D

The last remaining medieval city gate in Bristol.

The old town of Bristol is also known for its various architectural styles, in this street almost every house can be assigned to a different era or architectural style.

The St Nicholas Market, the trading center in old Bristol, with the 'Nails' in front of it. These pillars were the only places where deals were closed. The clock has two minute hands, one for the unified Great Britain time zone and one for the Bristol time before unification :-)

The Colorful Row of Houses in the birthplace of Edward Teach (Black Beard), it is not known which one of the houses it is exactly, but in Bristol it is generally assumed to be the yellow one because it is the most distinguishable from the others.

The Hatchet Inn, the oldest surviving pub in Bristol, which is rumored to have been frequented by Edward Teach from time to time. The entrance door is still the original, but today it is no longer covered with human skin.

The Llandoger Trow, this wonderful pub is about as old as the Hatchet Inn, which is why they always argue about which one is older. Edward Teach is also said to have stayed here from time to time. However, this pub is more important in relation to Daniel Defoe, who apparently met Alexander Selkirk here, whose story inspired him to write the book Robinson Crusoe.

The Hole in the Wall. The name of this pub comes from the spy hole in the wall to see the recruiters of the Royal Navy in time. They often tricked drunk people and forced them to join the Navy against their will. Apparently, this pub also inspired Robert Louis Stevenson to write the novel Treasure Island (Admiral Benbow).

John Cabot, or Giovanni Caboto in his homeland Venice, is considered the first European explorer of the North American mainland after the Vikings. Supported by Henry VII, he sailed across the Atlantic to find a shorter route to Asia, just like Columbus. He first reached Greenland, and then on further voyages, Newfoundland. There is a monument to him on the right side of the picture, but the Cabot Tower is also named after him. In addition, there is a figure of Gromit on the left side of the picture, the studios for the Wallace and Gromit films are also located here in Bristol.

This nutshell is a 1:1 replica of the ship that John Cabot used to cross the Atlantic, a bit daring ;-)

Of course, besides street art, I also looked at other things, some background information about Edward Teach's (Black Beard) early years before he became a notorious pirate was also found. I also discovered some places here in Bristol that significantly influenced English literature and many other things related to Bristol.

But more about that in the captions.

Bristol is a wonderful city with a lot of small and big things to discover. For example, the Bristol Pound, a local currency that can only be used by local artisans and artists to increase attention for them.
