Lived in Bristol all my life, you're the first to refer to Corn Street as downtown Bristol. I hope you visited other places because Corn Street, Wine Street and Baldwin street are the most dullest parts.
You seem to have really enjoyed my home city, without even leaving the Centre! I hope you made it to the harbourside area before you left as a must see. Bristol and Bath are very interchangeable as you say Bath is more touristy and shall we say exclusive. Bristol is a young and bohemian city with a rebellious spirit at heart(Blackbeard and many other infamous pirates came from Bristol). Glad you enjoyed your stay.
A lot of the old buildings were sadly destroyed in WW2. The park you could see whilst crossing the bridge (Castle Park) was all old streets until they were destroyed and it was later turned into a green space.
Hey Mike I’m pleased you enjoyed your travels in the uk. I am from London and I know bristol from my university days. I just wanted to clear something up for you because you’ve obviously misunderstood something here - perhaps a cultural misunderstanding or maybe you miss heard them. At the beginning of this video the two lads were chatting to you in a friendly jovial way - they were not camera shy and they were not annoyed with you for filming them - they were waving at you and waving at the camera in the same way peole wave at tv cameras to say “hello mum look at me I’m on tv” they were just being overly friendly - perhaps a bit drunk - but they were waving at the Camera ina friendly way - they were not telling you not to film them They were just young lads having fun being a bit cheeky - but in a nice way - like the Beatles were the very first time they landed in America and gave humorous press interviews. All good fun so please don’t misinterpret that because you got it wrong. However - I must add I am VERY impressed that because you thought they genuinely didn’t want to be on camera you went to the trouble of blurring out their faces when you could have easily have just not bothered because you knew you’d never meet them again Etc And for that I say to you BRAVO Mike 👏👏 You have very British manners and I’m most impressed 👌
Thank you for your comment and interpretation, makes sense! I try to respect people’s privacy if it seems like they don’t want to be on camera. Cheers!
Newer buildings are post-war because a lot of the city was reconstructed after being bombed from air raids. Otherwise more of the traditional Georgian architecture would be there.
The next time that you go to London you need to remove those dark glasses. I am joking of course, but there are thousands of bikes in London, notorious for cutting traffic and jumping lights. The Mayor has spent millions digging up the streets to provide cycle lanes that most choose to ignore and use the road instead. Good to see you back again.
There's been a boon in cycling in London, especially since the 'super highways' had a massive upgrade. The pandemic also led to quite a big increase overall.
You missed the main shopping area - Broadmead "downtown" - though it's nothing special any more! I live in Bristol, it's a great place. The main negative is cyclists!
The bronze tables are called Nails. This is the original stock market if you like. It's where the term "Money on the Nail" comes from.

Interesting! Thanks for your comment and input. I did see some of the dock area and it will be in my next video. Thanks for watching!
On the subject of art, Bristol is also known for being the birthplace of Trip Hop

My other half knew Banksy for a bit...
