EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph, taken in March 1921 by Aerofilms, offers a breathtaking view of Clifton in Bristol, England. The image showcases the picturesque Avon Gorge and the iconic Clifton Suspension Bridge, designed by the renowned engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel in the 1830s and completed in 1864. Nestled within the heart of Clifton, this area boasts an impressive collection of Georgian and Regency architecture, including the Royal York Crescent and The Paragon. These historic buildings, with their distinctive curved facades, line the hillsides and add to the area's unique charm and character. The Avon Gorge, a natural amphitheater carved by the River Avon, is a popular tourist destination and a source of inspiration for many artists and photographers. The suspension bridge, suspended high above the gorge, spans the river and connects Clifton to Leigh Woods, providing a vital transportation link and an engineering marvel that continues to attract visitors from around the world. This aerial perspective offers a rare and fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a unique perspective of Clifton's rich history and architectural heritage. The photograph, part of the extensive Aerofilms Collection held by Historic England, is a testament to the beauty and enduring appeal of this historic area of Bristol.
