The Bristol Collection - Tapa blanda

This collection of photographs brings together David Eveleigh's previous two books on this well loved city. He has gathered together a collection of archive photographs which present a record of Bristol from 1850-1969. A world port and a major industrial centre, the historic city still had picturesque streets, ancient churches and colourful civic traditions. Tremendous changes have taken place over this period, including the rise of the motor car, electrical supply to people's homes and vastly improved standards of living. Bristol's experience of this time is illustrated here, along with comments on home life, leisure time and the impact of war on civilian life.

David Eveleigh is a well known author and local historian. He also wrote the recent Sutton title 'Bogs, Baths and Basins.
