Once the second port in the country and one of the wealthiest cities in Britain, it has enjoyed centuries of prosperity based on manufacturing, seafaring and trade.

The Bristol of the past is illustrated here in drawings, paintings and photographs, many previously unpublished, from the superb collection held in the Bristol Central Reference Library`s Local Collection. They are contrasted with modern
colour images documenting the myriad changes the last century has seen in this pleasant city.
