Londoner Trow was a flat bottomed sailing boat that crossed from Bristol to Chepstow.

If you like the history of this area then have a look at Pill, Somerset which is on the banks of the river Avon.. unfortunately Pill was ruined by the developers in the 50s and 60s but we still keep our history alive! Bristol likes to claim the Matthew with John Cabot left from there in 1497. Two Pill men were appointed to pilot her down who were Mr Ray and Mr Shepard.. James Ray gets all the credit normally. The river wasn’t navigable in one tide so they would have probably made it to Hung road, Pill and waited for the next ebb tide.

The White Hart Inn (next to the bus station) is very haunted.
There are many locations in Bristol that are very haunted, to many to actually list

From experience, I know that Barrow Gurney Hospital was incredibly overcome by something.

A good try, the main reason for the naming of Christmas Steps, is that of the church at the top of Christmas Steps, which is, or was called The Chapel of The Three Kings .
Also I agree with a previous subscriber that the pronunciation of Llandoger Trow needs to be improved .

There is a Iron age settlement on the Downs overlooking the Suspension Bridge

Hello again from me…. Just watched your interesting Bristol story. We passed the Llandoger Trow last year, when we went up to An exhibition at Bristol Cathedral…. When they had a giant inflatable moon 4 everyone to see exhibition there. The Llandoger Trow was packed to the rafters & all those tables outside were rammed with people & laughter. Lovely atmosphere. As for the haunted side. I know we visited Redcliff caves once by the harbour side many years back. In 2000 at Bristol open doors days. When old properties are open to the public once a year. Redcliffe caves are said to be haunted, but by what unfortunately not sure. Most haunted with Evette Fielding have visited & done live ghost hunt there….. Now if we venture just a little outside of Bristol is Ashton’s Court Estate & Mansion. Said to be haunted by a scarey coachman at its gates. The mansion is vast. But has sadly been shut off to the public in parts. Other parts of it are used 4 functions & there are small tea rooms 4 visitors in the summer months. Lots of people use it’s grounds 4 dog walking, cycling, it hosts festivals like the Annual Bristol balloon festival. I’m pretty sure local ghost hunters visit it too. We once attended a ghost story teller. Who opened his room 4 visitors so he could tell 40+ of us spooky tales. We found it very interesting indeed. We had to book. Now Onto Another area famous 4 it’s ghost sightings are Brockley Coombe. Brockley coombe is a very large dense wooded area similar to Weston woods. It’s about half a mile from Lulsgate Bristol airport. Brockley Coombe is a very slightly curvy wooded road that goes through Brockley Woods. It connects from the A370 to the Main Bristol to Weston Road. Brockley coombe Which are said to be Haunted by numourous ghosts. 1 being the famous headless coachman that is seen to ride down the Coombe every full moon 🌕 at midnight. My Friend Janey & her brother once told me they parked up & waited there on a full moon 🌕 at 12:00am. She said they saw some strange beem of light…… not of car headlights. Then it vanished again…. My account of weirdness there was when it was a cold winters night. I was sat laughing & telling ghost 👻 stories when my friend Rachel’s mum was driving me home from Felton where they lived. We were coming up through Brockley & it would of been 9:ish in the evening…. Very cold 🥶 & dark. When a sudden whirl of ground mist out of nowhere whirled up towards the car. We drove through it. It made me feel odd. Anyway there’s a few local stories from that area. Looking forward to watching some more of your interesting stuff & commeting.

Bristol is not a thousand years old. Bedminster the old manor was older! Bristol has hundreds of ghost stories. Remember that Bristol is now a huge city. My old pub in part of the old city was haunted.

I have investigated the Llandogger Trow....it is very active 👻

You should do research on half penny bridge in snuff mills (in Bristol) it's got a pretty messed up history many deaths there

I lived in Bristol form 1988 till 2012 - a bit longer than 24 hours! I went to the University of Bristol and stayed on afterwards. I love the city.

An interesting thing about Corn Street and the Corn Exchange. If you have heard the saying 'pay on the nail' - it comes from the three brass pedestals outside of the exchange. When negotiating the price of corn, after a price was agreed, the buyer would pay for their corn on one of the brass pedestals - which are called 'nails'. So, the buyer would pay on the nail.

If you ever stay in Bristol again, there is a hotel that backs onto the Llandoger Trow (I think it is a Premier Inn) and there is actually a door between the pub and hotel. Iast time I stayed there, I think breakfst was served in the pub.

The disfigured man could have come from the leper hospital of st Lawrence now the st Lawrence roundabout .it was outside the city walls

[martinshepherd]

You are pronouncing Llandogger Trow totally wrong....
Try Lan-dog-er Trow (trow rymes with how or wow)

Sadly, the Clifton suspension bridge is the site of many suicides.

It's a City and a County in its own right. Please don't call it a town
