Yo Ho Yo Ho, a Pirate’s Life for Me... The Pirates of Bedminster “Parley. I invoke the right of parley. According to the Code of the Brethren set down by the pirates of Morgan and Bartholomew, you have to take me to your captain.” – Elizabeth Swan, Pirates of the Caribbean. One of the most feared and notorious pirates to ever sail the seven seas during the Golden Age of Piracy, was Pembrokeshire born pirate, Bartholomew Roberts. Known as Black Barty (or Barti Ddu), this pirate was infamous for successfully capturing many vessels on the Atlantic. Bartholomew Roberts was born in Pembrokeshire, 1862 and like many boys of his was sent off to sea, to work aboard a merchant ship. From this early age, Bart developed a taste for sailing and boarded a slave ship called The Princess in 1719. On vessels voyage, Bart was enslaved by fellow Pembrokeshire pirate, Howell Davis, and was made to join Davis’ crew of Pirates. Not long after joining Davis’ crew, Bart was made captain after Davis was killed in an ambush. Black Bart was given his name due to his calm yet ruthless disposition, and is known as one of the most brutal pirates of his time, however there was another side to Bart. In July 1719, Bart and his crew sailed to South America and came across a treasure fleet Visit www.bedminstereye.co.uk
destined for Portugal. Bart and his crew captured the ship which had the richest treasures on board. Victoriously, Bart sailed away with his winnings only to have the treasure ship, taken by some of his men who mutinied against him. This angered Bart who then came up with a set of codes for pirates to swear to. Some of these codes included:
Every man shall have an equal vote in affairs of moment. None shall game for money either with dice or cards. Each man shall keep his piece, cutlass and pistols at all times clean and ready for action. No boy or woman to be allowed amongst them. He that shall desert the ship or his quarters in time of battle shall be punished by death or marooning. The musicians shall have rest on the Sabbath Day only by right. On all other days by favour only. Bart was an astute and intelligent pirate who was thought by many to be invincible. In 1722, Bart was killed in battle by British naval commander Sir Chaloner Ogle. Bart’s death came as a surprise to many. Of all the pirates to sail the seven seas Black Bart was the most notorious and successful having terrorised well over 400 vessels in his time. Black Bart’s death is seen by many as to have been the death of the Golden 4 Age of Piracy. Follow twitter.com/bedminsterEye

Bedminster Town History With evidence of Roman origins, Bedminster was listed in the Domesday Book as a royal manor which belonged to Robert Fitzharding, the Baron of Berkeley. The manor remained for 300 years as the Lords of Berkeley’s favoured residence until 1605 when the Smyths of Ashton became the new lords of the manor.
East Street, West Street and North Street making Bedminster a very popular place to visit. Unfortunately, this was not to last. During the ‘Bristol Blitz’ as it became known, Bedminster was badly hit in air raids from 1941-1944. The old parish church, St Johns was the biggest casualty of the air raids and as it was beyond repair had to be demolished.
Up until the 17th century, Bedminster was a wealthy community due to its ideal agricultural conditions and popular parish church, St Johns. However this was soon to end when in 1644, during the English Civil War, Prince Rupert and his Royalist forces captured Bristol, resulting in the sacking of Bedminster. The town was burnt down reducing it to a market town in desperate need of recovery and repair.
Today, East Street has been redeveloped with a pedestrian area laced with local businesses, shops and pubs to restore the old charm it held before WW1.
Bedminster remained in this state of desolation for over a century. Change only began to happen when in 1748, Sir Jarrit Smyth, the Lord of the Manor, introduced the first mine shafts to Bedminster. From this moment on, Bedminster became a popular and successful mining community at the very beginnings of the industrial revolution. This encouraged a huge growth in population and also generated other industries like engineering, tanneries and glassworks. Up until WW1, Bedminster flourished in industry and local shops, businesses and pubs opened in

In 1495, merchant John Smyth of Small Street, Bristol, bought the estate. Smyth never took residence, but his descendants did and enlarged and adapted-over the centuries the core 15th century house. During World War I, the estate was used as a military hospital, and in World War II was requisitioned by the War Office and used in turn as a Transit Camp, RAF HQ and US Army Command HQ. In 1946, the last resident of Ashton Court Dame Esme Smyth, died. After the house became derelict, it was taken over by the City in 1959. With investment by the Council and Heritage Lottery Fund grants, areas have been renovated for the current use as a conference, party and wedding venue in the mansion house and use of offices, café and function rooms in the adjoining stables.

Garden of Paradise
How to keep your garden a low maintenance one Gardening is one of those things that take a lot of care and attention, and if you are otherwise occupied with taking care of the kids or busy in work, then when you get that hour to yourself, you want to spend it in blissful peace rather than pulling up those weeds. The key to keeping your garden look like a paradise but remain low maintenance is to use plants that need hardly any attention and bloom throughout the year. If you want some easy to care for flowers to brighten up your garden then planting some bulbs will ensure that your garden will be bright and cheerful each spring. Flowers like daffodils, tulips and snowdrops are perfect fuss free flowers as they come into flower at the beginning of February and last up until May, while other flowers like primroses will flower in May and last through the summer months. Herb gardens are easy to maintain too. Herbs like lavender and rosemary flourish throughout the year and will fill your garden with the perfumed scents of the South of France. Lavender and Rosemary also require very little watering as they are both plants that survive well in hot countries. Herbs like mint or parsley will require a bit more tending too as they will need pruning if you have had a lot of wet weather. If you’re looking for a greener fuss free garden then bear in mind plants that need a minimum amount of Visit www.bedminstereye.co.uk pruning and attention. Plants like conifers, palm trees
and ferns have their own distinctive shape so you can leave them to it. If you want a piece of greenery that flowers a little though, shrubs like Mexican Orange Blossom and Honeysuckle are shrubs that will give your garden seasonal flowering and perfumed scents that you can, especially on a summer evening when you’re having your BBQ. Mowing your lawn once every week is a long and arduous task. Having a lawn is something you do have to keep up if you want your garden to look tidy at all times. Reducing your lawn space is a good idea to keep the mowing to a minimum so think about paving some of your garden with brickwork detailing or stylish paving slabs. Likewise, using garden furniture or structures as a focal point in your garden will also minimise the amount of garden you have to tend to. Any garden will need at least a little bit of maintaining, but hopefully if you invest in some honeysuckle plants and garden furniture, then you will be one step closer to gaining your fuss free garden of paradise.

Simple Steps to Buying a Car Buying a car is an exciting prospect for many buyers, especially for first time buyers. Here are a few helpful tips to consider when buying a car.
Once you’ve decided which car is your favourite, check the running costs. How much is the insurance going to cost you? How much is the cars road tax? Taking into consideration the cars monthly costs will help you get a rounded idea of its overall cost. Take a look at finance options to gain that the dealer provides to see if they can offer you anything better. Usually dealer finance includes extras like free courtesy cars and free road tax for a year, so it’s well worth looking into.
Draw up a shortlist of potential makes and models. This will help you determine what kind of car you are looking for. Make a note of whether you are looking for a small, medium or large car and whether there are any makes you are more interested in. Visit your local car showrooms and garages to see what they have to offer. This can give you a good idea of prices. It also allows you to have a good look at the cars and decide whether you like the overall appearance of them.
Next, negotiate with your dealer. Show the dealer you are interested in the car. See how far they are willing to drop the initial price of the car and what extras they are willing to include.
Now for the fun part, take them out for a test drive. Ask to take them for a spin around the area to see how they are to drive. Take notice of what the gears feel like and how long they take to reach the speed limit. Ask yourself how it feels to drive them. Do you enjoy driving it, or do you find it difficult to handle? What condition is the car interior? Asking yourself these questions is bound to determine which car is your favourite.
Visit www.bedminstereye.co.uk
When you have a good idea of what you are looking for and what car fi ts your needs and budget, buying the car will be the easiest bit.
