This book contains over 200 old photographs portraying aspects of Bishopston, Horfield Down & St Andrews over the last century. These districts, so difficult to define both in geographical & historical terms, are brought together into a whole to make a fascinating & informative read for everyone who has at any time called them home. Through the second half of the nineteenth century & the first half of the twentieth century the area was extensively developed as the city of Bristol expanded into its rural surroundings. Farmland was rapidly transformed into a network of new streets & roads & the ancient village of Horfield was overwhelmed. In place of countryside new communities were established & it is their history that this book seeks to celebrate. The changing nature of street scenes is set alongside the shops that people frequented, the schools their children attend & the activities & institutions they supported
- notably the churches & the various sporting clubs. Gloucestershire County Cricket Club, Bristol Rugby Football Club &, latterly, Bristol Rovers Football Club all based themselves in the area. The photographs have been selected from various sources including the extensive archive built up by Bishopston, Horfield & Ashley Down Local History Society whose members have compiled this timely volume.
