| Bristol, Avon |
| I spent the last year of my National Service (in the Royal Navy) at RAF Pucklechurch, near Bristol, in 1957-58. We used to go into Bristol in the evenings and at weekends, and I really got to like the place. I remember sitting in the front row of the Old Vic and seeing Peter O'Toole as Hamlet - and getting sprayed !! I haven't been back for many years. |
| A nice early postcard of the river. |
| The two images above and that on the left below were provided by a friend from Philadelphia who was born and bred in Bristol. The postcards are all unused and thus undated. |
| A couple of early 20th Century views of the Clifton Suspension Bridge. |
| Two postcards showing the Old Dutch House, which was destroyed by German bombs on the night of 24 November 1940. Click on this link for more information. |
| An unused postcard of Christmas Steps. |
| This postcard of Bristol High Street was mailed in 1906. |
