EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1964 takes us back in time to the bustling Bristol City Docks, where hardworking men are seen making their way home after a long day's work. The image captures a slice of history as these dedicated workers pedal their bicycles through the streets, tired but determined. In the background, towering concrete buildings known as tobacco-bond warehouses dominate the skyline. These structures served as a reminder of Bristol's rich shipping heritage and industrial prowess. However, fate had different plans for them, as they were eventually demolished in 1988 to pave the way for progress - making room for what is now Lloyds Bank HQ. The scene depicted here exudes an air of camaraderie and resilience among these commuters who relied on cycling as their preferred mode of transport. It reflects an era when bicycles were not just means of getting from one place to another but also symbols of freedom and independence. This photograph encapsulates the essence of life in mid-20th century England, particularly in Bristol's vibrant South West region. It serves as a poignant reminder of how employment opportunities shaped communities along rivers like Avon while showcasing the daily struggles and triumphs experienced by those who worked tirelessly at Bristol City Docks.
