On this day 2 years ago the Colston Statue was pulled down from its plinth and rolled into the harbour. This year the Colston Four were also found not guilty of criminal damage. Since the statue came down there’s been several name changes. Colston Tower is now Beacon Tower. Colston Hall is now Bristol Beacon. The Colston Arms is now The Open Arms. Colston Girls School is now Montpelier High School. | Best of Bristol
