David Olusaga's New Series Starts Tuesday 26 May on BBC 2 at 21:00
This time the series goes much further back in history to an 18th Century house in Bristol. Bristol has always been a multicultural/multi ethnic city and these stories have been some of the most interesting so far.
Episode 1 includes
- A parish register entry for the baptism of a 3 month old child, Martha, who had been abondoned on the steps of our house in 1728, no indication of who the father was, but what hapened next to Martha?
- A newspaper clipping headed RAN AWAY. Thomas, probably a black servant ran away from 10 Guinea Street in 1759
