Bristol railways in the 1970s
12th October 2005

This collection contains photgraphs from the Bristol area taken in the 1970's.


A number of photos were taken with a kodak brownie camera I was given for christmas in 1966. The rest were taken with a 35 mm camera I was given for christmas in 1971.

The relatively small number of loco based photos reflects the fact that we all thought they would go on for ever!

If you were sent here from the link on the Avon Valley, that collection has been moved to a gallery of its own and is now to be found at:
