St Nicholas Church and market area<\/p><\/div>\n

While visiting St Nicholas\u2019 Church we also had a quick look in on the markets. Given it was a Sunday they were not open but when I checked back a few days later it was different.<\/p>\n

One of Bristol\u2019s interesting buildings is the Llandoger Trow, a mid 17th<\/sup> Century pub near the docks. It is said to have inspired authors and contain ghosts.

The people who emerged were those one would not normally expect to see in such a car nor were they dressed to be unobtrusive.<\/p>\n
