Description: The first of a two-part podcast with Dr Peter Fleming of the University of the West of England talking about Bristol in Medieval times, and how the River Avon and the River Frome were integral in making it one of the most important cities in England and Western Europe. We talk about the physical city and the infrastructure, how the geography made Bristol so important, as well as how people lived, who had the power, and what the city would have looked (and smelled) like. There are maps, photos and links to things we talked about on my website https://avonstories.com/2017/06/27/avon-stories-podcast-3/
