Bristol

I visited the City of Bristol to have a look at some of the places that were bombed. Seeing as Bristol took a quite a battering during the Second World War I opted to stick the roads that were struck during the first raid on the city. I can return another time to photograph locations that were effected later on.

The photographs that I got were, for the most part, boring street photographs of shoppers in the centre. This is because the areas have been rebuilt and made to fit the modern demand with shopping centres. However, I was lucky enough for some places to still be quite historic and quieter - allowing for better photograph options.

St. Nicholas Street.

Bristol Temple Meads Station.

Castle Park

Not a bomb location, but taken from one. High Street.

Again, not a bomb location but the area was very picturesque.

I do intend to go back and photograph other locations in the city that were affected by air raids later on. The photographs shot on this visit were only of the first, very central raid. Some of the later bombings also have better stories attached to them.
