Hip-Hop, The Broadway & F-F-F’s.
In this episode, DJ Flynn from the legendary hip-hop group Fresh 4, who grew up in Knowle West, explains how the area help to define the Bristol Sound. Mary Stokes, Helen Bailey & Jim Smith, share memories of the Filwood Broadway, which once had a cinema and swimming pool. We then hear from residents about the Filwood Social Centre, which opened in 1938 and meet the Blackmore family who are one of the oldest families in the area. Makala Cheung reads us a poem from Vanessa Kisuule about Knowle West, and we are introduced to Don who takes care of the gardens at the community centre. Finally, Ann & Denise tell us about the origins of Knowle West’s reputation.
