[Cancelled] History walk 2: Romantic, Radical and…Reactionary

Update 11/10/2019 Unfortunately, Molly is currently unwell so it is unlikely that this walk will go ahead tomorrow.

This walk explores how ideas of the environment have evolved in the modern imagination. Once described by Marx as the ‘third worst city in England’, Bristol has evolved to be a magnet for environmental activists and contemporary good-lifers. What can the city’s history tell us about environmental struggles, including the right to public green space, the waxing and waning of the harbour’s fortunes, and the changing ideas of environmental menace or nuisance over time?

The walk will start at M-Shed at 3pm and will last for around one hour.
