All About Bristol

Available for over a year

A notorious book - which scandalised the city when it first appeared in 1977 - is being republished. It's called 'Ladies' Mile - The Remarkable and Shocking Story of Twilight Bristol', written by a toilet attendant on Durdham Downs called Victoria Hughes. Victoria documented the ladies that used the toilet - many of them prostitutes. Kerris Harrop, who’s republishing the book, spoke to ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio Bristol’s Steve Yabsley. All proceeds from the book go towards refurbishing the toilet block on Durdham Downs.
