William Tyndale sits on a bench, translating the New Testament. We expect to see statues commemorating local worthies in our city centres, but Bristol’s latest square gives the tradition a playful new twist. The statues seem to mingle with the visitors. The tragic young poet Thomas Chatterton lounges on another bench, while actor Cary Grant strolls along, clutching the script of To Catch a Thief. The square is part of the rejuvenation of the harbourside with the @Bristol complex of attractions.
