EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1930 showcases the mesmerizing beauty of Bristol's Floating Harbour. The image transports us back in time, capturing a moment where history and architecture intertwine harmoniously. Standing tall behind the bustling warehouses in Redcliff Street is the magnificent St Thomass The Martyrs Church, its grandeur contrasting against the industrial backdrop. As we gaze across the tranquil waters of the Floating Harbour from Welsh Back, our eyes are drawn to a prominent ship named Durdham gracefully sailing through. This vessel serves as a reminder of Bristol's rich maritime heritage and its vital role as a bustling port city. The photograph also captures an impressive crane, symbolizing the importance of transport and trade during this era. Its towering presence adds depth to this already enchanting scene. Photographed by P E W Street, this print encapsulates not only his remarkable talent but also his keen eye for capturing moments that tell stories beyond words. It allows us to step into Bristol's past and immerse ourselves in its vibrant history. This print is a testament to how art can preserve memories and transport us to different times and places. It serves as a window into an era when ships sailed majestically through harbors, churches stood proudly amidst urban landscapes, and cranes were symbols of progress. Let this image be a reminder that even amidst modernization, there will always be glimpses of our past worth cherishing – snapshots frozen in time like this one captured by P E W Street.
