Steve Spear, 1831 Bristol Riots
In this talk, author and M Shed Volunteer and Guide Steve Spear will give a brief overview of the causes and consequences of the citywide riots of 1831.
The riots that took place in Bristol in October 1831 were some of the most dramatic in British history. In the immediate aftermath, the city was in tatters, with countless protesters either dead or dying, and dozens of buildings in flames or fallen into heaps of rubble.
Steve will retell the history of this tragic episode, exploring some of the locations that played a prominent role in the unrest.
