Event Type: Branch

Takes Place: 3rd May 2026

Time: 2pm

Venue: Bristol

Description: Evan Jones will lead a walk around the old city of Bristol as it would have been in 1673. James Millerd’s 1673 map of Bristol is the best known and most widely used representation of the pre-modern city. Evan has researched Millerd's map and has discovered four jokes. The walk will bring these to life. We will start at Bristol Bridge (where Millerd lived) then wend our way through Bristol, going up Stony Hill and St Michael's Hill, before cutting across to the Bristol Volcano (aka Brandon Hill). Warning: it will be steep.
