BRISTOL AS IT WAS - SPEEDWELL REMEMBERED

SPEEDWELL WAS ONCE AN AREA CONNECTED WITH COAL MINING AND BRICK MAKING. IN THE 1920'S THE MINERS COTTAGES WERE JOINED BY A MODERN NEW HOUSING ESTATE CONSTRUCTED BY BRISTOL CORPORATION. FOLLOWING ON CAME SPEEDWELL BATHS, CLINIC, SHOPS, TA CENTRE, FIRE STATION AND OTHER FACILITIES. I WAS A PUPIL AT SPEEDWELL SCHOOL FROM 1964 TO 1969. THESE PHOTOS I HAVE EITHER TAKEN MYSELF OR ARE FROM MY COLLECTION AND BRING BACK HAPPY MEMORIES TO ME AND HOPEFULLY TO YOU.
SPECIAL THANKS TO PAULINE LUSCOMBE FOR THE PICTURES OF SPEEDWELL GIRLS SCHOOL.
