5.00What a wonderful tour of the Air Raid Shelter and the Corn Market. Duncan's enthusiasm was infectious and it was such an insight into Bristol during WW2. Duncan has carried out a lot of research and it's so good to keep this part of history alive for future generations and to keep the Shelter intact.
Amazing, informative & fantastic tour!
