The Knowhere Guide

Best and Worst in Bristol St George, Bristol*

Bristol St George, Bristol Triumphs and Tragedies

Favourite Building

• St. George Fountain is a local landmark and also has interesting history - difficult to get too near it though because of the traffic!

Demolish It Now Building

• The Library
• The weird old school type place on the main entrance to the park

The Best Things

• I Have lived in Bournemouth now for over twenty years, But i still remember fondly many of the brilliant clubs and community centres that our Band used to play such as Patchway Labour club Southdown Labour Club plus many many more, We were called SHADES OF GREEN Our lead singer was a young lady called Carol Ryall on the keyboard was Mike Bishton on bass was Chris Fisher on drums was Steve Buckland and on lead guitar was myself Philip Murphy, We used to play in the centre of the pitch before the matches at the Bristol city football club I wonder if anyone remembers us.
• The window displays in the hairdressers opposite the bus shelters - they're very artistic and ace. All the old ladies in St. George seem to wear red coats - check next time you drive through.
• Handy for centre of Bristol

The Worst Things

• In St. George you can be a married lady for 40 years and everyone still calls you by your maiden name. It gets confusing, but it could be an example of entrenched women's liberation (I don't think so, though).

The Knowhere Guide started out as a list of places to skateboard in the UK. It is a compilation of (unedited) information and views supplied by users like yourself. It is not a conventional tourist guide!

In most cases, the information in each section has been submitted by more than one contributor (the credits at the bottom of the page list some, but not all, of the contributors) and some of it dates back to the 1970s.

We make no claims as to the accuracy of the information in the Guide - our only purpose is to provide a forum for users to share their knowledge and opinions. So please keep a large bag of salt handy and be prepared to read between the lines!

If you disagree with a comment, or information is out of date, please submit an update! The contributors come from all walks of life, and their opinions are bound to be subjective, so if your view isn't represented, please speak up and contribute to the balance of the Guide. See below in the 'Have Your Say' section for how to add your voice.

If we have helped you out or made you laugh you can buy us a pint.
