Crime and Crinolines in Clifton Tour with Show of Strength

About

Clifton is ‘The handsomest suburb in Europe’ said John Betjeman.

Show of Strength's tour reveals the extraordinary people behind the elegant facades. Fabulous buildings, scenery and stories: a jilted barmaid’s brush with death; a runaway Empress; the only forger sentenced to death to keep his head and have it on a banknote; and the Georgian terrace that housed the Holy Grail. Starting and ending in the village, Clifton will never look the same again. 

Tour lasts approx. 2 hours.

Meet/start: large terraced area, top of steps in front of Lawes & Co Accountants, Boyces Buildings, Regent St BS8 4HU.

This tour takes place outdoors. Ends close by. Possible pause halfway round for outside/inside drink if the group is keen.
