It was interesting to see Charles Hill's shipyard where my grandfather worked as a ship's plater. He lived with us in my parent's house. The NORWEST was built in 1955 and I fancy I saw him at work in the film. He died in 1956 when I was aged 3.

I and my school, had the Day off to go see the Queen. As I lived in Bedmister, I walked to Temple meads and Redcliffe St Marys' Church, and saw her pass by, waving to us, in a open Horse Drawn Carriage, and we ran along side to Redcliffe. I have photographs.

I agree With you. I believe there are certain features we should expect at certain price points. Accurascale and Dapol offer excellent value. Reasonably easy servicing and a quality mechanism are important to me. I will sometimes pay a premium for something that is hard to find. I have just done this and can't wait for it to arrive. Cheers Paul.

What a wonderful collection of memories, A superb record of a fine city and it's people. I and my family, moved to Bristol in 1956., and remained there ,till 1982. But not moving far beyond a 20 minute bus ride away. For once, I also enjoyed the very suitable music accompanying it. I've slowed down the speed to 75% of normal, it gives a longer view of the scenes, and the voice is still ok. Of course, you can 'click ', to halt the scene anyway, or both.

We hear at the beginning of the film how a particular firm were given £300 in the mid-1950's to document 'on camera' the changing Bristol landscapes before, during and after, construction. This is a decade after the end of WW2 and as archives of this period show, colour film came into it's own during the war. The bombing of Pearl Harbour is just one example and captured in colour. So why use a technology that became 'old hat' over a decade earlier, to document and produce films which promote The New Britain? It makes no sense to find camera technology moving up and down a linear timeline - do we ever bring the horse and carriage out of retirement in protest to rising fuel prices? Not many of you reading this would consider buying a black and white TV, over colour. You just wouldn't and that's why this is just as unlikely.
