A heartfelt thank you to the Nailsea & District Local History Society for such a warm and enthusiastic welcome at my recent talk, The Story of Ladies’ Mile.
Around fifty members and guests filled the hall for what proved to be a lively and rewarding evening. I was delighted by the thoughtful questions, the interest in Victoria’s story, and the many conversations that followed — not to mention the cheerful queue of book-buyers afterwards! It’s always encouraging to see how deeply this remarkable local story continues to resonate. My thanks again to everyone in Nailsea who came along and helped make the evening such a success. If your group would like to host The Story of Ladies’ Mile — an illustrated talk uncovering one of Bristol’s most fascinating forgotten histories — please do get in touch. I’d love to share Victoria’s story with more local audiences.

"We knew there were secrets surrounding Ladies’ Mile although no-one ever spoke of them. Once Victoria Hughes’ book came out, we found out what those secrets were. This is an immensely readable book of shameless stories in different times."
"A funny and at the same time a very sad book. I absolutely loved every page."
"I received my copy of the book and read it in one sitting. It is an interesting tale of times gone by (if a little shocking to some folk). Victoria’s character shines through her words. She must have been lovely to know. I will refuse to lend my copy to friends: they will have to buy their own and add to the restoration fund!"
