WHOOSH! Bristol & Car Finance
The Bristol Story
Bristol's story begins at the meeting of the Rivers Avon and Frome, where Saxon traders recognized a perfect port location. By the 18th century, Bristol was England's second city, its wealth built on trade (including the shameful slave trade it later repented). The city launched Isambard Kingdom Brunel's SS Great Britain and pioneered aviation at Filton where Concorde was built. Post-war, Bristol embraced the car age while preserving its Georgian splendor - a delicate balance. The city's creative spirit, from Banksy's street art to Aardman's Wallace and Gromit, reflects an independent streak that extends to transport choices. Named European Green Capital in 2015, Bristol now leads Britain's environmental movement, with residents passionate about sustainable living. The city's transformation from slave port to eco-pioneer shows how communities can reshape their identity while honoring complex histories.
