The Port of Bristol Authority Photographs

The Port of Bristol Authority photographs mainly cover the time period between the 1920’s and 1977 and the ones we have used range from between the 1940’ s and the 1960’s. There are around 12,000 in all. They cover all aspects of life at all of the docks and are housed at the Bristol Industrial Museum.
