The boyhood home of poet Thomas Chatterton is to be the new location for an Italian restaurant moving from the other side of the city centre.
La Panza, currently located on Lower Park Row, is moving to the historic building on Redcliffe Way from April 13.
Formerly Chatterton’s Cafe and recently home to the pop-up LD’s Kitchen, the council-owned former school house dating from 1748 is incongruously marooned on a patch of grass between St Mary Redcliffe and the cobbles of Portwall Lane.

The award will be used to improve existing connections on the Redcliffe and Old Market sections of the heat network, allowing Bristol City Council to disconnect the hot water system at its Temple Street offices from the existing gas boiler and replace it with a more efficient system.
The money will also fund the replacement of existing gas boilers with low or zero carbon heat sources, allowing rapid growth in the numbers of buildings connected to Bristol’s Heat Network and helping the authority to cut emissions as it heads towards carbon neutrality.
The network, sometimes referred to as district heating, replaces individual buildings’ own heating systems, and often uses heat recovered from industry or renewable sources. Bristol’s heat network currently supplies more than 1,000 properties with low carbon heat from different sources across the city and continues to expand to new areas.

As President Biden takes up residence in 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, we look at the Walthamstow and Wanstead resident Admiral Sir William Penn MP (1621-1670), in whose honour Pennsylvania was named. Admiral Penn had great skill at manoeuvring not only his ships but also his political position. In the tumultuous and bloody times of the English Civil War and throughout the Commonwealth and the Restoration, he was pragmatic about the dangers of allegiance to either the Parliamentarians or the Royalists. Penn was rewarded with confiscated lands in Ireland by Cromwell, for his contribution to the Parliamentarian cause in the Irish Sea. However, he was a deceitful double dealing turncoat as throughout the Civil War and Commonwealth, Penn remained in secret correspondence with the Royalists and twice he was arrested and thrown in the Tower of London on suspicion of this but both times he managed to talk his way out of danger.
