Brycgstowe, 'the place at the bridge', as the Saxon founders of
Bristol once called it, is a city of destiny. Once the second port
in the country and one of the wealthiest cities in Britain, it has
enjoyed centuries of prosperity based on manufacturing, seafaring
and trade. Geographically split between the counties of
Gloucestershire and Somerset and approached by sea through the
dramatic Avon Gorge, the city received a Royal Charter in 1155.It
was an industrial city described in the Georgian period as 'by mud
cemented and by smoke obscured'. The Bristol of the past is
illustrated here in drawings, paintings and photographs, many
previously unpublished, from the superb collection held in the
Bristol Central Reference Library's Local Collection. They are
contrasted with modern colour images documenting the myriad changes
the last century has seen in this pleasant city.
