Archaeologists have announced they found evidence of a Roman glass-making industry in fields that are currently the subject of the most controversial planning row in Bristol.
A field team from the Cirencester-based Cotswold Archaeology were tasked with investigating land at Brislington Meadows in South Bristol by Homes England, which wants to build 260 new homes on land local residents regard as a nature reserve.
A planning application has been submitted for the site, despite the Mayor of Bristol - who persuaded Homes England to buy the land to develop it and then decided it should be protected.
