Bristol the port business included, shipping wool and leather and importing wines, tobacco and cocoa beans — commodities that led to the setting up of some of Bristol’s major manufacturing industries.
Less happily, during the 17th century, the town also prospered on the slave trade; the abolition of this in the 19th century was a serious setback to the port.

Bristol is a city of contrasts: side by side with modem shopping, office and entertainment complexes and multi-storey car parks stand old docks, almshouses and inns steeped in history.
