About This Item
Donington: Shaun Tyas, 2017. Book. Fine. Paperback. First Edition. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. This scholarly and well-illustrated book provides a sound survey of the place-names within the city of Bristol and its immediate hinterland between Severn Beach and Weston in Gordano in the west, to Chipping Sodbury and Saltford in the east, and from Yate in the north to Stanton Drew and Bristol Airport in the South. It is not a dictionary of street names but of parish and district names, striking monuments, open spaces and of geographical features, but with some microtoponyms also. The entries contain early forms, references, and scholarly explanation, by a well-known professor of linguistics at Bristol's University of the West of England. There is a bibliography and an introduction. The book is a paperback of 219 pages, with many of the illustrations in colour..
