"Shop Bristol is a directory of 23 lifestyle and present stores from across the city. Spearheaded by the owner of Prior in Old Market, Beck, the aim is to make sure money is given to smaller businesses during the festive season"

“Since I started Priormade I’ve always made recycled work,” Beck says. The kettle is on the little kitchen and a cheese plant is basking in Sunday morning sunshine on the windowsill. The space smells like wood shavings and linseed oil. “I’ve always been interested in not being wasteful, and I really like history.
