Elisha Smith Robinson

In 1840, his father was threatening to replace him within the family business with a Londoner, so he moved to Bristol with the help of a small loan.

He had a belligerent attitude to politics; he published his pledges in his own broadsheet, The Redcliffe Review, and was satirized in local cartoons.

[4][5] He served as a Justice of the Peace, as well as chairman of the Bristol Port Railway and Pier (now Severn Beach Line), and president of the Grateful Society [6] in 1880.

[7] A memorial sermon preached by Reverend Richard Glover at Tyndale Baptist Church was published.

From that day until 1964 Robinsons fielded a cricket XI on that bank holiday against various teams including one made up entirely of Graces in 1891.
