Monday Musings<\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/a>Had a meeting with my wonderful web designer about some new tweaks to the website. \u00a0I am all about making the site easier to navigate and how to get to things of interest more quickly.<\/p>\n

We met in the coffee cafe in Colston Hall, right in central Bristol. \u00a0History in the UK is different than history in the US. Buildings in the US are considered “old” if they were built in the 1920s, and older buildings\u00a0rarely survive redevelopment. \u00a0The property on which Colston Hall was built dates back to \u00a01574.<\/p>\n

Not sure if you can see it, but the price of admission to see the Rolling Stones in the 1970’s was 75 pence and a David Bowie concert would set you back 1.50.<\/p>\n

The controversy surrounding Colston Hall is one\u00a0Edward Colston (2 November 1636 \u2013 11 October 1721). \u00a0He was a Bristol-born English slave trader, merchant, and Member of Parliament.<\/p>\n

Much of his wealth, although used often for philanthropic purposes, was acquired through the trade and exploitation of slaves.<\/p>\n

The question in Bristol is: Should the name of the Hall be changed and his statue removed? \u00a0The hall is under-going refurbishment and will drop his name when it reopens. \u00a0The statue remains. \u00a0For more on the controversy click HERE<\/a><\/p>\n
