	The Downs (Bristol) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Downs are an area of public open limestone downland in Bristol, England.
		The Downs owe their existence (in what would otherwise have been a prime housing location) to their having been protected in earlier centuries from development by interventions from the Merchant Venturers (a powerful business guild in the city), and now an Act of Parliament.
		A railway tunnel, Clifton Down Tunnel, passes underneath the Downs on the line from Temple Meads to Severn Beach.

		Sadly, the difficulty of obtaining cardiac surgery for Downs babies living in certain areas is by now well documented, as the ‘bibliography’ attached to this article bears witness.
		A month later, Joseph was born with Downs Syndrome, and many of the accompanying physical traits as well as a hole in the heart (AVSD) and another significant life threatening condition.
		Even if there were, Bristol’s statistics would be at a disadvantage because the surgeons were scrupulously honest in logging their performances, and that other units did not necessarily have Downs Syndrome paediatrics, with their increased risk factor.

		This mosaic-style picture, entitled 'Bristol Dinosaur', is the work of local artist Andrew Council.
		In contrast, the bones of Thecodontosaurus, which preparator Remmert Schouten is painstakingly freeing from large blocks of rock, belonged to a dog-sized vegetarian – one of the earliest plant-eating dinosaurs.
		First described in 1834, from bones found in a quarry near the Downs, Thecodontosaurus is being re-examined by Professor Benton and colleagues who regard it as close to the ancestor of huge plant-eaters like Diplodocus and Brachiosaurus, and hope that the new material will shed more light on the origin of dinosaurs.

		Scarcely recovered from this wave of emotion we were walking down "Desolation Row", a muscular version of the song with a tight acoustic set.
		His voice was amazing - light and mocking on tracks like Frankie Lee' and Apple Pie', Clear and demonstrative with the single harmonica solo of the night -on Tangled up in Blue, but the passion and the power of the slow soft ballad of Blind Willie McTell brought the audience to its knees.
		The song wound down to a lingering end, then silence, for a few seconds hardly anyone amongst the 5,000 gathering moved.
