    Fasinating, thank you. born in Bristol, lived there till i was five. forty six now. Good to see old and new. My father would have been four. Grandparents now long gone would have been a young couple. My goodness youve made me feel old.

    Thank you; I enjoyed that very much.
    Don't know about you but l'd give almost anything to be able to go back in time and stroll around pre-war Bristol...

    wow! my family still lives there, seeing those pics make me miss home. The footage is great.

    What fantastic footage, priceless. It is always disconcerting knowing that every person in shot is no longer with us. I always wonder who they were and what happened to them.
    Many historical buildings, including medieval, all gone now. Bristol had so many great features; unfortunately, Bristol was never a city that was looked after or valued by BBC. I lived in Bristol from 1966 to 2005, particularly in Clifton and Cotham from the mid 70's until I left. It was a really pleasant place to live, bright and clean with lots to do and the Downs were a joy to the inhabitants.
    Visiting recently it was sad to see what a dump Bristol has become; driving over the Downs from Westbury-on-Trym it definitely is no longer a rewarding sight. Has half of that attractive school on the edge of the Downs with the Elizabethan chimneys been knocked down to build a warehouse? The Downs, Blackboy Hill, Whiteladies Road, The Center, Harbourside, around St Ann's Square, all dirty, rubbish, signs everywhere, roads divided by orange poles, dreadful buildings, literally just a concrete jungle in Bristol's headlong rush to look like some soviet era concrete city.

  • @MrDaiseymay
    @MrDaiseymay 9 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    This is like watching 'Reece Winston' Photographs come to life--Not so clear as his pics of course. I like the sound effects---motorised traffic was very noisy then, unlike today's better engineered mechanics, but I like it. As someone said earlier, horse drawn traffic was still common in Bristol up to the 1960's. 'Georges Beer' used Dray Horses too. After 60 years here--I'm still a 'furrener'.

    The New Cut (under Bedminster Bridge) is tidal so the water level changes twice daily.

    My father Alexander Craig Risbridger (1907-79) was born in Westbury-on-Trym. He will have known Bristol during the 1920s. He blamed all Bristol's boozers on his alcoholism. The silly sod!

    Nicely done including the sound effects. The intermingling of pededstrians and vehicles is interesting in many of the sequences - a less controlled and managed society maybe!

    • @blowingfree6928
      @blowingfree6928 ปีที่แล้ว

      Late response, but BCC destroyed more than the Luftwaffe ever did. Absolute vandalism and the destruction of the world's first shot tower in the 1970s is a disgrace. So much heritage and history destroyed to make room for concrete blocks.

    Bristol is one of the coolest cities in Europe! Trendy and liberal but never self-consciously so. It could do with a great stadium and a premier league football team, though - City and Rovers should merge or do a ground-share.

    @robinsummerhill102 15 ปีที่แล้ว

    Dating clips such as these can be very difficult, but the buses that appear at 0:36, 0:53, 1:04 and 1:47 appear to be Bristol "B" types, built between 1927 and 1937

  • @audax67
    @audax67 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    The number of horses and carts isn't that surprising. They were still commonly used for small haulage jobs in the 50s and 60s: John Harkness & Co used them in Belfast, and Sean Connery once delivered milk from one in Edinburgh.
