People living on a street in South Bristol are about to become TV stars - for setting up a museum on the history of their road. The new Channel 4 series will be presented by Bristol’s own Sir Tony Robinson, which is particularly fitting as he has just been named patron of a community theatre just streets away.
All eyes in Bedminster will be on More 4 next Monday, October 17, when the first in the series of a programme called The Museum of Us is aired. The show will feature a different street in Britain each week, as its residents are set the challenge of finding out about the history of their own street, the stories from the decades and centuries, and then putting it all together in a special museum they curate of what they found.
The programme was announced back in March, and over the summer, the presenter of the show, Sir Tony Robinson, challenged the people living in Hebron Road in Bedminster, to create a museum in the nearby church building.
