A colourful social history of Bristol's oldest suburbs, full of interesting and amusing anecdotes. It shows how much and how little things have changed -- the same old worries and grumbles occur even today.
The author shows how the residents of Clifton and Hotwells lived, what they wore, what their houses were like, how they behaved -- and what made them so angry they wrote to the Clifton Chronicle about it. See also On the Waterfront, the story of Hotwells.
