Bristol's Lost City by Clive Burlton
The 1914 Bristol International Exhibition was an extravaganza that was half trade fair showing off the products and achievements of Britain's empire and half theme park with a roller-coaster ride and pageants. The exhibition closed after financial difficulties and the site was acquired by the War Office as a military barracks in September 1914.Born and raised in Bristol, Clive Burlton is an author, publisher and social historian. In 2011 he wrote his first book, Trenches to Trams, about the life of George Pine who served with the Gloucestershire Regiment in the First World War and then plied his trade on Bristol’s trams and buses for nearly 30 years.
Trenches to Trams led to the formation of Bristol Books CIC in 2012 and Clive has since written a further four titles and co-authored another three books. He has curated several exhibitions concerning the impact of the First World War in Bristol, and has produced commemorative films marking 70 years of the NHS in the City in 2018 and a documentary to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Matthew ship in 2022.
Passionate about preserving the City’s heritage, Clive is a regular speaker at community and history society events in the area, and is a Trustee of the Friends of Bristol Museums, Galleries and Archives.
