Car Rental Bristol

The City center:

The Tramways Clock was placed on the Company offices in 1897. It was controlled by the Alliance Electrical Control System, which kept it within a tenth of a second of Greenwich Mean Time, as there was a ten-minute time difference between London and Bristol.

The Bristol Master Clock which controlled this and a few other clocks was regulated by the electric signal from Greenwich. The Master Clock still hangs outside a shop in College Green, but as all of the British Isles is now in the same time zone (GMT or BST depending on time of year) the Control System is no longer in force.

Behind the Tramways Clock can be seen the modern clock of the Colston Tower, erected in 1973. The building has been described as "An effective punctuation mark, a kind of giant bookend stopping the Centre from bleeding away into Broad mead."

The warehouses and tall cranes on the quayside are symbols of a past when the harbour was thronged with ships loading and unloading, while in the yards new vessels were being constructed.

The city harbour is lined up with various attractions, boats, restaurants, and museums etc. making it magical. The selection of city centers, restaurants, cafes, pubs and bars provides something for everyone with variety of taste and budget, and you'll just enjoy shopping in Bristol with high street stores, markets, and an incredible range of independent shops, galleries, boutiques and antiques.
With everything from waterfront hotels and penthouse apartments to family run guesthouses and farm cottages, finding accommodation will not be a problem.

This unique city has brought science, nature, and art to life… a place of discovery and surprise.
