Abstract

In his presidential address Professor Leech proposed that an enigmatic rental copied into the Little Red Book of Bristol, and dated by its editor to the 14th century, provides a street directory of the area immediately to the south of Bristol bridge. He argues that the area, known as Arthur’s Fee (later Arthur’s Acre), represents the vestige of an enclosed urban settlement that protected the southern approaches to the bridge that gave Bristol its name.
