BRISTOL BYZANTINE: the unusually Moorish and Venetian-flavoured Victorian industrial architecture 

Many of Bristol's most distinctive 19th century buildings have been grouped under the umbrella 'Bristol Byzantine', including the Granary, Robinson's Warehouse, Stokes Croft Carriage Works and the Arnolfini art gallery.
In this video I take a look at the history and varied stylistic influences of these buildings, and debate whether this supposed genre really exists at all.
Spoiler: it probably doesn't, but you get to look at some pretty buildings along the way.
