Isambard Kingdom Brunel's iron steamship SS Great Britain of 1843 is back in the dry dock where she was built, and you can walk under her hull below a glass sea. The Clifton Suspension Bridge, begun to Brunel's design and finished after his death to a revised design, opened in 1864 over the Avon Gorge. The M Shed museum is in a 1950s transit shed on Prince's Wharf, and in Stokes Croft Banksy's The Mild Mild West is still on its wall.
