8: The Interceptor
1 sound
The Malago Storm Interceptor (nicknamed "Dreadnought") was officially opened on 23rd April 1976 by Mr Michael Cox, the Labour MP for south Bristol. It was built in response to a terrible flood in 1968 which saw many homes and buildings in the area destroyed, and sadly some lives were lost.
We have imagined how the opening of the Interceptor might have been commemorated by a 1970s punk-rock band...
Turn left onto the paved path after you've read the plaque about the 1976 opening ceremony. Follow this paved path a short way, then turn right, off the paved path and onto a woodland path to hear the next sound spot.
