From Old English 'Brycgstow', meaning 'place of the bridge', referring to a bridge over the River Avon. The name evolved through Middle English to its current form.
Bristol was once Britain's second-largest city and a major slave trading port, but it's now better known for Banksy's street art and as the birthplace of trip-hop music. The smooth Bristol board paper was named after the city's papermaking industry!
