Following the outcry concerning the Slave trader Edward Colston and the pulling down of his bronze statue in the centre of Bristol in 2020 (after which several Bristol buildings were named) the Colston Hall has been renamed The Beacon Hall....
Edward Colston (2 November 1636 – 11 October 1721) was an English merchant, slave trader, philanthropist, and Tory Member of Parliament. Colston followed his father in the family business becoming a sea merchant, initially trading in wine, fruits and textiles, mainly in Spain, Portugal and other European ports.
