Bristol In The 1920s

Very rare moving pictures of Bristol (UK) filmed 80 years ago. A world in which old cars, buses, lorries and motorcycles share the roads with trams and a surprising number of horses and carts. A charabanc and even a hand-pulled cart are glimpsed. Policemen direct traffic, women exhibit the 'flapper' look, men wear hats or caps. Clips feature The Centre, Corn Street, Bristol Bridge, Park Street, The Docks, Bedminster Bridge, Redcliff Hill, and Ashton Swing Bridge.

Wow, it just shows how much was destroyed in the second world war. Bristol was a very different place back then.

I liked the shot of the "stop me and buy one" ice cream man at the begining.

I wonder if the taste of his fag spoiled the taste of the ice cream?
