EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 1960s, where we witness the majestic Kingstonian docked at Quay Head, now known as Cascade Steps. This iconic vessel was a popular choice for day trips along the River Avon in Bristol, offering unforgettable journeys to Beeses Tea Gardens and Hanham and Keynsham locks. Measuring an impressive 80 feet in length and boasting Thames-built craftsmanship, the Kingstonian played a vital role in transporting locals and tourists alike during its heyday. Alongside its partner ship, Lady Betty, which navigated through Bristol's Floating Harbour, this boat led a bustling life filled with adventure and exploration. As we delve into this nostalgic flashback of transportation history, it becomes evident that the Kingstonian held a special place in the hearts of those who embarked on her decks. With memories of sunny days spent cruising along picturesque waterways or enjoying leisurely picnics at charming tea gardens, this vessel became synonymous with joyous day trips. However, like all good things must come to an end eventually; the Kingstonian found itself sold off in 1968 after years of dedicated service. Nevertheless, this photograph serves as a timeless reminder of an era when river excursions were cherished experiences for both locals and visitors from afar. Step aboard our virtual time machine as we journey back to mid-20th century England – relishing in nostalgia while appreciating how transport has evolved throughout history.
