EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Bristol in the 1950s. From high above, we are granted a unique perspective of the Haymarket-Horsefair roundabout, captured from St James Tower. The aerial view allows us to appreciate the intricate design of this iconic intersection, with its neatly arranged roads leading off into different directions like spokes on a wheel. The year is 1955, and amidst this urban landscape under construction stands the Lewiss Store. Its skeletal structure hints at the promise of future commerce and activity that will soon grace these streets. This image serves as a time capsule, freezing a moment in history when progress was palpable and dreams were being built alongside bricks and mortar. As we gaze upon this photograph, nostalgia washes over us like waves crashing against distant shores. It transports us back to an era where life seemed simpler yet full of possibility. The fifties charm radiates through every pixel - from vintage cars navigating their way around the roundabout to pedestrians going about their daily routines. This snapshot not only captures a specific place but also encapsulates an entire era - one that witnessed post-war reconstruction and societal transformations. It reminds us how far we have come while igniting curiosity about what lies ahead for our beloved cityscape. Staff's impeccable aerial photography skills have gifted us with an extraordinary glimpse into Bristol's past - an invaluable piece of history frozen in time for generations to come.
