I was doing a photoshoot this morning for the Conservative Party, who are making the case for a new junction to ease the pressure on existing M4 junction with the M32 at Hambrook, when I realised that there was a strong Colston’s connection.

I have already published blogs about Kingswood MP Chris Skidmore, who was a pupil at Colston’s Prep, and former Colston’s head boy James Hinchcliffe who is standing to be a councillor for Frome Vale. A third person with a Colston’s connection was Councillor Charles Lucas, a contestant in the Bristol mayoral elections to be held in May, who is a Colston’s School governor.
