Fw: windmill hill From: DB Bogie Date: May 23 16:17 UTC Short link
Can I add my voice to the number of people living on Windmill Hill who also
know that we live in Bedminster - there is no way that we live in Knowle. Is
there anyone, apart from Alf Havvock, who could possibly argue otherwise?
I like Charlie Bolton's suggestion of splitting the ward in half : the BS3
side joins us in Bedminster, and the Totterdown/lower Knowle side joins them
up there in Knowle and Filwood
