BRASS TRACKS

 

 

This new guide to the Brass Industry in the Avon valley and the Chew valley combines detailed trail guides that include maps and full directions with a history of this almost forgotten industry.  

 

It includes:

• 5 walking trails, varying in length from 1½ miles to 6 miles
• One family-friendly cycle trail
• A gazetteer with details of all the industrial sites referred to
• A history of the Bristol brass and copper industry
• Descriptions of the owners and managers behind the industry
• Details of the brass-workers, with information on all the individuals we know about 

 

The many illustrations and drawings make this a valuable record of a local industry and give walkers an insight into what the sites they discover were like when they were full of the bustle of industry in previous centuries.
