Description: Did you know that in the 1960s there was a plan to turn Bristol's Floating Harbour into roads, and it was only luck that prevented it? Richard Holden worked in Bristol City Council's Planning department for 36 years, and told me about this and more of the good, the bad and the ugly of the Harbourside redevelopment, including current threats to the Harbour, and what we can do to help. There are photos, a map, and a presentation by Richard on my site http://www.avonstories.com. Picture used with kind permission of Richard Holden.
