1949 Bristol Buses Civic Dec15 Traffic


EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in December 1949, showcases the grandeur of The Civic Centre in Bristol, England during the 1940s. The image transports us back in time, as we witness the hustle and bustle of the bustling city centre. The Civic Centre, a symbol of civic pride and progress, stands proudly in the background, its modernist architecture a stark contrast to the traditional buildings surrounding it. The building, completed in 1940, was designed by architects R.C. Hussey and H.A. Collett and was intended to be a hub for local government and community activities. The streets in front of the Civic Centre are filled with traffic, including several red double-decker buses, a common mode of transportation during the 1940s in England. The buses, adorned with the familiar red and white livery, add to the vibrant energy of the scene. The pedestrians, bundled up against the winter chill, add a sense of scale and humanity to the image. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the daily life of the people of Bristol during the post-war era. The women in their smart coats and hats, the men in their suits and overcoats, all going about their business, create a sense of normalcy and resilience in the face of adversity. This photograph is a testament to the enduring spirit of the people of Bristol and the importance of their civic centre in the community. It offers a unique perspective into the past, allowing us to appreciate the history and evolution of this beautiful city in England.
