Bristol has plenty to be proud of when it comes to famous people. Some were born in the city while others were drawn to it by its colourful heritage, adventurous spirit & vibrant atmosphere of culture & enterprise. A few names, like that of the explorer John Cabot, have been woven into the fabric of the city`s heritage. However, other people who helped to shape today`s rich environment are hardly remembered.
