Notes:
Deals with the oldest established business in Bristol in the 1980s - then there were 130 firms older than 100 years. Provides profiles of seemingly all of them. The writer states that 'in no sense is this a list of company histories. I have tried to give an idea of what these firms were like when they were founded, and who their founders were, and to show how they adapted to changing times and consumer demands'. Organised in 12 chapters, each dealing with a particular sector
