Headfirst Editor's Pick

"Sell out warning! Desanctify Bedminster! As featured on the BBC podcast Gangster – take a haunted wander through South Bristol’s unglamorous underbelly. A two-hour descent into the grit of grave robbers and body snatchers, the sordid glow of hanging judges and man-eating lions, and the Brinks-Mat cache laundered through local banks."

Bedminster’s older than Bristol and Show of Strength's 5-star walking tour takes you to extraordinary places where amazing things happened. We’ll introduce you to grave robbers and body snatchers; concrete coffins and hanging judges; a man-eating lion; an exotic princess who was one of the world’s great impostors; and a forgotten Victorian murder – or was it? And running through it all, like hot liquid gold, the still missing millions laundered in Bedminster from the Brink’s-Mat robbery, Britain’s biggest ever. BBC Sounds podcast GANGSTER: The Story of John Palmer features our tour – Bedminster will never seem the same again.
