Episode 10 - Bristol 'Riots' (Part 1)
Bristol History Podcast - A podcast by Tom Brothwell
Categories:
Bristolians have often been condemned or commended for their riotous history. For this podcast I met with Dr Roger Ball of the Bristol Radical History Group and Dr Steve Poole of UWE to discuss Bristol's 'riots' in the 18th and 19th centuries. What constitutes a 'riot'? Can we discern political intentions behind crowd activity? And how do popular disturbances and uprisings fit into modern Bristol's image of itself?
