In 1864, The Clifton Suspension Bridge over the River Avon, Bristol, designed by Brunel, was opened. It links Clifton in Bristol to Leigh Woods in North Somerset, and is built to a design by William Henry Barlow and John Hawkshaw, based on an earlier design by Isambard Kingdom Brunel.

10 things you might not know about this bridge:

#bristol friends, I'm in town a week on Saturday so looking for recommendations for coffee shops, things to do, places to visit.

Lego store obviously on the list but nothing else really planned. Depending on the night before, I may get a run in so could do some sightseeing while running.

Today I took the train from #Bristol to #Amsterdam. It cost GBP50 less than flying (although both were >GBP400).

Train: Leave home at 0700, arrive hotel at 16:45
Plane: Leave home at 07:00, arrive hotel at 11:45

I wish the price/time difference was better, particularly as the train connectivity has been fairly weak.

Went to London for work today.
Train from #Bristol both ways was pretty busy. #LondonUnderground wasn't completely rammed, let's call it 'lively'.

How many people do you think wee wearing masks (besides me)?

0.

Literally 0.

I thought there might be a couple, but no. Admittedly no one was obviously coughing/sneezing in my vicinity, but colleagues reported being near loud coughers all the way.

Hopefully everyone gets home safe and well, and stays well.

But, you know. Masks are quite a good thing for stopping even boring seasonal colds, let alone COVID which can be deadly for some folks...

I get that public finances aren't an endless supply of shiny pounds. (I have worked in #LocalGovernment for a.lot of my career. It's amazing how much gets done with virtually no money)

And that society generally wants all of the nice things but does not want to pay for them through tax.

But this view of collapsing #cultural funding in #Bristol is super sad.

@kitation @joelanman The same exists in #Bristol, where private businesses are encouraged to let public use their toilets.

That was after the council shut down its own toilets a few years ago for a 'saving' of a mere £100k p.a. out of a council budget of some £300m.

‘Unthinkable cruelty’: #Kenyan expert working at Bristol University denied visa by #UK for six-year-old daughter

“Dr Doseline Kiguru, a Kenyan expert in world literature, was overjoyed when she secured a permanent position at #Bristol University.

But that all changed last week when the Home Office refused to allow her six-year-old daughter to join her.”

“We heard Wes Streeting would be coming down to do a talk on university and personal statements,” one year 13 student involved, Amina, told Novara Media. “But as a year group, we wanted to show our support to those in Palestine.

“Keir Starmer [has] stated he does not support calls for a ceasefire. None of us agreed with this, so collectively we showed our position by not attending.”

According to a parent of a child at the school, which has a high number of Muslim students, Israel’s genocide in Gaza is “politicising young people like nothing has before”.

Arnos Vale is a Victorian cemetery in the south of the city of #Bristol. It is still in use today for woodland burials.

As you step through the gates, the drone of the city drops away to be replaced by snatches of birdsong. It’s peaceful, quiet, and lush with the green grasses and trees resplendent in a bright autumnal sun. It’s where I would like to rest.
