Bristol Does Not Do Justice To Its History

I have recently bought all the original 'Day Out' books from the BBC series in the 1970s by Derek Jones and Gwynn Richards.
From reading these books and doing some research it is obvious that Bristol Council and its Tourist Information Centre and Museums do not do Bristol a great service.
The brochures and walks leaflets available in the Tourist Information Centre ,located in @ Bristol,are woefully inadequate.They do not give enough detail and are too brief.
Bristol has a great history to tell,yet the museums have little about say,Hotwells spring,the Floating Harbour,Medieval Bristol.
It seems it is all in store at the old warehouse,now called B-Bond,at the Create centre,why not on display?
Compare and contrast the size and range of the TIC in Bath to the small effort in Bristol.
Here is a picture taken from Southstoke in late summer.

Western Riverside in Bath

Well at last the Western Riverside in Bath is to be developed.
This should be good for Bath, but I have a few reservations now it has been announced Crest Nicholson is to be the main developer.
I would suggest the good people of Bath go to Bristol and look at the 'sympathetic and imaginative' development that Crest are doing here on the Harbourside development.
In my view they have built a dull and mediocre scheme right on a prime waterside site,this will not attract visitors to Bristol for its architectural merit.
The main office block is mentioned earlier in my Blog and is a really boring glass sided building with the 'ladder feature' on the front to try and hide what a mediocre building they have put up.
I have put up a picture for your view.
I love good exciting modern buildings like the Birmingham Bull Ring replacement and lots of examples in London,Sunderland etc.
Lets hope the bath planners have the guts to insist on some good original buildings.
Here is Bristols great example.
