EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling Floating Harbour in Bristol, circa 1921. The aerial view showcases a steamer gracefully docked in the harbor, surrounded by a transit warehouse and railway goods yard. It's a snapshot frozen in time, capturing the vibrant maritime activity that once defined this historic port city. The warehouses depicted here were constructed during the 1920s, serving as vital hubs for trade and commerce. However, their fate was sealed decades later when they were tragically destroyed in 1988. In their place now stands the iconic Lloyds Bank building, symbolizing both progress and change. In the background of this remarkable image lies St Augustines Reach and Bristol Cathedral, two architectural gems that have withstood the test of time. Their presence adds an air of grandeur to an already picturesque scene. Preserved within Historic England's Aerofilms Collection, this photograph offers us a glimpse into Bristol's rich maritime heritage. It invites us to imagine what life must have been like during those early years of the twentieth century when ships sailed these waters with purpose and determination. As we admire this stunning aerial perspective captured by Aerofilms, we are reminded of how history shapes our present-day landscapes while also providing inspiration for future generations to come.
