It has - and it has been a fair few years since we made it. Funny that the videos themselves have become ‘historical’ since we made them (as have the people who produced them😂).
It really makes you wonder how accurate the rest of the documentary is when they point the camera at the ancient village of Pill whilst talking about Seamills…. Bristol would have never grown without the skills and knowledge of the Pill men being able to get the ships up and down the river and channel. in fact it’s highly likely that the Matthew with Cabot left from Hung road in Pill as the river wasn’t navigable on one tide and sometimes took days. when the Cabot left they needed a man with local knowledge so appointed a Pill man called James Ray to pilot her safely to sea in 1497. Pill provided the Bristol Ports with its Pilots and Hobblers/ boatman for over 500 years and the Pill Hobblers are still providing that service! We still have the Bristol Pilots but none of them are from Pill but all understand the history of the important and dangerous job they do.
@@jccjjccj3305 Pill is in another county with the river being a divide. North of the water is Gloucester or Bristol as it now is and south was Somerset but now North Somerset! Pill is not Bristol..
@@PillSharks fishponds, Filton and kingswood is south Gloucester but they are still Bristolian, same as pill. They use the same schools and city centre as Bristol and ask anyone of them if they are from North Somerset or south gloucester and they will tell you they are Bristolian
@@PillSharks they are just names invented by the government but I’m telling you people from Easton and gordano and pill call themselves Bristolian like people from Filton or longwell green
@@jccjjccj3305 no…completely wrong! We call ourselves Pill Sharks or Pillites and the only thing we have in common is the area code! You obviously don’t know anyone from Pill very well or anyone who’s a true Pill person…
That wasn’t the Mathew but similar size it’s literally down the river from the SS Great Britain maybe it wasn’t moored that day but that definitely is not the Mathew, that being said one of the best documentaries I have seen on my hometown though !!
That's right. In this modern world we've actually gone all biblical: the sins of the fathers shall be visited upon following generations interminably. That is the New Left's way. So, even if you are very egalitarian, anti-racist, equal opportunities there will be some virtue signaler - in this case, you - who will say: "yeah, but there were some evil people there 150 years ago, so you are evil by 'association'". Nice - I like your attitude of collective punishment......
Yet the slave trade has left the reputation of the sub Saharan parts of Africa whose people captured and sold the slaves to Arab and European traders pretty well guilt free. Odd that.
@@danguee1 I wouldn't say it was the whole Left but there's definitely a problem on the Left with splitting the world into "oppressed" and "oppressor" groups which came in with Marx. Still, to quote Orwell's Animal Farm, "Four legs good. Two legs bad!"
My great grand father migrated from Bristol in the late 18th century to America and Bristol is where my last name is from.
Very interesting and informative, well worth a look.
My son says Bristol is a beautiful city...glad my boys appreciate beauty
Small correction needed, replace "is" with "was"
It is a dump with a few nice historic bits
@@jamara3330 you’re very wrong it’s amazing
If you are a right wing racist dullard you wont like Bristol. If you are a nice person you will love it. Simple
@@heather-vs9qe Hilarious.
Such beautiful history video
I think this could be a really good educational tool for while people are in quarantine. Really enjoyed the documentary, keep up the good work!
I hope it comes in handy. Thanks James
So nice to see my family's house!!
Bristol has changed so much since this was recorded.....
It has - and it has been a fair few years since we made it.

@PPMsTV Since "you" made it? 😂
You mean since it was made! You're way too young to have made something like this 🫢🤣🤣🤣
I lived in Bristol for 7 year's. Best years in my life. I miss it's parks, streets and Banksy arts
I 💜 Bristol 🥰
Brilliant,
Interesting video, Richard Ameryk was Anglo Welsh, Ameryk is the Anglicised version of Ap Myric, Bristol is a cracking City

I'm skipping through every part of the history to just look at bristol in the early 90's...crazy. look at the cars lol all boxey and dull coloured.
I’ve lived in Bristol for 20 years never felt at home here and could easily leave tomorrow if I could think of anywhere I actually wanted to live.
Are you right wing or racist by any chance ? 🤔
@@weirdnessinwiltshire
What on earth has my comment got to do with race or politics ?
Byebye 😂😂
Soon as the adverts start, I switch off.

I thought Charles II was born in the 17th century yet this is saying he took over in 1154??
Colston and the slave trade has since tarnished Bristols history somewhat

The mariners were anti slavery. It was only the rich elite like Colston and the merchant ventures who were pro slavery.
