Many people already use Know Your Place as a way to find out more about local history. Nick Howes is worth following on Twitter as he posts auto coloured old photos of Bristol. The interest in Bristol’s past will only grow when the new series of A House Through Time starts on BBC Two on May 26 following stories of residents of 10 Guinea Street in Redcliffe from the 18th century to the present day.

"The state of many pavements in Bristol is of a shocking quality. Raised flagstones, wonky grate covers, loose paving stones and cracked flags are a constant menace. Not just to a wheelchair user but to buggies, pushchairs, people using canes and frames and any number of issues that makes walking difficult." The embedded poem on the 73 bus is interesting.

A poor choice of pavement materials. Broken by vehicles driving/parking on it. If these weak concrete flags are going to be used there must be action against pavement parking. Alternatively, use reinforced flags.

The name was inspired by statistics from a Harvard business school study, which found there’s a 60 per cent greater economic benefit to your community if you choose to shop in a local independent store rather than a large supermarket.

Please use the local independent food shops rather than the big supermarkets. Use them or loose them. https://t.co/XjbH1NKegc
