The Guides
Who We Are
Dr Lynch
Head Guide and Retired Hangman
The good Dr Lynch was indeed a celebrated surgeon in his day, on the cutting edge you might say. With a reputation for the use of innovative techniques and a flair for the dramatic, this notable doctor came undone when it was discovered that the vast majority of his patients had died in very curious circumstances. However he soon put his nimble fingers to use by becoming a celebrated executioner. for the city! Today, sadly he is reduced to earning his gin money by tormenting the general public on these tours.
Mrs Needles
Guide, Poisoner and possible Witch
Mrs Needles, a Strange Apparition of dusty feathers and gaudy apparel, has been Haunting the Streets of Bristol & Bath for what it seems to be minutes/decades/centuries. Often rumoured to be a Witch!, or part Bat, by small Urchin children, accusatory Dogs and Respectable Gentlemen, she also has Aquired the nefarious title of a Poisoner. Do Not Accept gifts or victuals from this Creature of The Night!
She is Well Aquainted with The Dead and invites you to follow her and be Formally Introduced. AT YOUR PERIL!
Jim Reaper
Guide, Funeral Director to the wealthy & Murderer.
Mr Jim Reaper. Once a most respected professional man and a partner in the famous funeral director's firm Grimm, Scratch and Reaper. Sadly, it came to light that Mr Reaper was just a little too keen to increase trade for the firm. Apparently, some of the customers were still breathing upon interment! Still, they never complained afterwards, and rumour has it, that Mr Reaper is still quite active in the trade.
Jimmy the Shrike
Guide, Conman, Thief and heartless murderer.
Jimmy the Shrike. Formerly known as the Cuckoo in underworld circles, this heartless young man preys upon the wealthy and grieving. His speciality, is to scour the papers for notices from grieving families of the disappearance of their sons and heirs. He appears upon their fine doorsteps, pretending to be miraculously the prodigal son returned. He worms his way into their homes, hearts and eventually bank accounts. His last victims, famously threw themselves out of top windows of their fine mansion. The despairing parents intentionally impaled themselves upon the very iron railings, that were originally designed to keep such a nasty fellow as Jimmy the Shrike out!
Tobias Carver
The Bloody Butcher of Old Bristol Town
Tobias Carver, is a very reliable butcher to the gentry, with the requisite skills and contacts, to supply the finest of cuts. Indeed, Tobias can be trusted to discreetly deal with any descriptions of meat, be it bovine, game or even evidence! Shooting accidents do occur on a regular basis with the gentry, and Mr Carver will cut, prepare and remove to the highest of standards. However, we don't recommend eating one of his pies to be honest, you wouldn't want to be accused of being an accessory after the fact, after luncheon!
