Bristol: A City Through Time! (Then and Now) 

Absolutely fascinating. As a proud Bristolian, this has really opened my eyes to our wonderful city and county. Thank you for your brilliant work on this video.

Been living in Bristol for nearly 15 years...love this place...its been tough but with some huge rewards

Really impressive concept, research and committed care & creativity have gone into this historical treasure map of Bristol. Fascinating to see it in its former spacious glory and how its structure changed to serve a population density that, like most cities, has changed with the challenges of time

This is a breathtaking piece of work, I have lived in Bristol all my life and have seen various photographs and paintings of old bristol, however, to see them come to life and know the context is just wonderful, thank you for your time doing this. I can also guess in an archive somewhere there is even more.

Thank you for your beautiful work here. Bristol is my city, and I am immensely proud of its people and its history. Thank you for showing some of these attributes in this lovely video. I shall be sharing it with friends and family.

Breathtaking work, Thank you so much,

Fascinating and well put together. Thank you!

Fascinating , lve lived in Bristol all of my life , its great to see what parts of it users to look like 👍

Oh wow this is awesome! Lived here in Bristol since I was 2, moved from Surrey, and all my children ever known. If you want some more "on the same spot" photos of some of those locations to blend in we could arrange that. Live not 20mins walk from Southmead hospital. Thankyou for making this!

love it! Thanks for showing me this. I have been living in Bristol for 5 years now :)

Thank you so much for putting this together. Fascinating

Its amazing to see how grand Bristol used to be, especially before the 1940s and 50s.

Excellent. Thanks for making and posting this.

Absolutly superb. Thank you.

Bristol is my home and its my blood, its even my voice Ha Ha Ha...pure Bristolian and proud! 💯

Beautifully done, and quite hypnotic. As someone planning to visit Bristol soon who's a lifelong Anglophile, this is especially gratifying and enlightening. And I very much like the music as well. What a multitalented artist!

Outstanding work thanks for posting

Wonderful to watch. Thank you.

Amazing video. Thanks for your hard work in putting it together.

Absolutely brilliant-well done!!

Very nicely done!

As 50 year old Bristolian I was impressed by this. Shame a lot of brilliant True Bristol folk have been replaced by rich strangers from London. We are being milked for every penny. And soon I will have to pay to use the road to go to work. And sit for an hour to do 4 miles because the roads are being closed. I got 2 kids and a ton of tools I need to use a car. What a shame.🤔🤔

Bravo ! Thank you so much.

Gurt lush init.

As a Bristolian I can't wait to watch!

Brilliant

Pleasure to watch..... Ty

Really cool video

Great job! We live in the centre so it’s really interesting to watch

I love it, wish we had more green areas in Bristol and I can see we did have more of them in the past.

Great work. One of the best city's in the world. Some crazy people and some extreme views, but for the most part it's very nice.

It would be even better if can show the difference between the new track layout at Temple Meads station this summer.

LOVE

I saw many now famous rock bands at the Colston Hall for around £2, they now charge £150. I left Bristol 4 years ago having lived there all my life since I was born in Southmead in 1956. I watched it descend from a respectable proud city full of people who wanted to make it better, into something out of a dystopian sci fi horror movie.

I enjoyed the map part at the end

St Mary Redcliffe, one of the biggest churches in Britain that isn't a cathedral is not shown. That is the main A38 road to Somerset, Devon and Cornwall. Looks like another church tower in the video.

Never knew that Templemeads station had lost a fair chunk of the clocktower.

Where is BRI hospital including the old hospital and suspension bridge?

Wow it legit looks better back then

This is really awesome it's just a shame there were not more up to date photos of certain things like Southmead Hospital and the Colston Hall as they're completely different now than the most recent photo used.

wow

Much better in 1950 than it is today

any thoughts on short hair cats? or in u boats?

Beautiful city ❤️

Gurt Mint too

Born and bred Bristolian from 1974 to present day. Love this short video and love Bristol as well. :)

Gurt mint

I reallty like yes is good

do Exeter please :)

A city once run by elders past down from middle ages been run into gridlock and all our once beautiful old buildings replaced with 20 year lifespan carbuncles

Colston hall has been renamed and is now known as the bristol beacon.

I much preferred the centre when it was grass, I remember when the changed it gor the concrete and fountains 😕

I live in Bristol

Illustrates how much the council has managed to fuf it up over the years.

How nicer it was when less populated, tho I've heard that it was very rough and hard times to live in, still is, still has lots of good points, hope it doesn't get anymore populated

Up The Gas!

I’m quite sad to see Colston statue missing, whilst I do totally understand the feelings of those who pulled it down, I feel there should have been a better way. Perhaps a notice describing an accurate history of the man and maybe a statue alongside of someone important in the struggle for Black rights. To be fair I don’t know if the protesters had previously tried to get something done and failed or perhaps they thought that nobody would listen or care. All politics aside, it’s a part of Bristol history for better or worse. I grew up near Bristol and lived there for some years, including living in St Pauls district for a couple of years,

Yeahhhh College Green in the 1830s somehow looks like an even better place to smoke weed, mind

Beats neighbouring Bath which requires a second mortgage and has no character. But a silly presentation, no mention of prehensile St Pauls and Easton.

Visited 18 months ago for dinner, it was a Friday evening,big mistake.I have never before seen so many foul mouthed drunken young women,the city centre was teeming with them.Not the city I grew up in.

Miss you Mr Colston

I grew up in Bristol from 1981-2018, just don't relate to it anymore its changed so much in the last 15+ years and not for the best. Moved 5 years ago and not really been back. It was great in the 1980's, 1990's and first half of the 2000's but just seems full of Londoners and been too gentrified.
