Illustrated with over 200 archive pictures, this collection evocatively captures the histories of Netham, Crews Hole, St George and Speedwell in east Bristol. Snapshots of everyday life, from weddings, charabanc outings, pubs, shops and schools combine with vistas of the industries upon which these communities relied, particularly the collieries and chemical works whose chimneys towered over this area of the city. This fascinating volume shows the great changes which have taken place in commerce, heavy industry, transport and residential areas.
Meet Stan and his mates. All football fanatics, all enthusiastic followers of the English national team - so far, so normal, right? Wrong. You've probably already spotted them on TV, or maybe at an England match. They're the group of blokes all dressed up as St George. In this hilarious book, Stan - AKA George the First - tells the story of how the George came into being, in the run-up to the 2006 World Cup in Germany, and reveals all about the crazy adventures and bizarre situations the gang have found themselves in as they're travelled the world supporting England and bringing their own special touch of English eccentricity to every match, home and away. It's a story of football, friendship, beer and trips to Kazakhastan - in others words, England fans doing what they do best, following their team over land and sea. With fancy dress costumes.
This short history covers the period from the formation of St George's in 1733, its rebuilding at Hyde Park Corner in the 1830s, to its eventual development in South London on the Grove Fever and Fountain Hospital sites. When the original building opened, each of its wards was named after benefactors. However, as time went on and the source of funding changed, it was felt more appropriate to commemorate doctors and others who had made significant contributions to the hospital and to medicine in general. Comprehensive biographical details are given of the personalities whose names are presently attached to wards and other areas. A number of buildings and corridors have place-names associated with the hospital's history and development, and these are also described in full. In describing the personalities and the place-names the authors have taken the opportunity to enlarge upon certain key aspects of the hospital's history.
