Bristol Docks Aug05

I’ve added some pictures I took last year at Bristol Docks. It’s a great place to spend a day or two.
Bristol has a rich maritime and industrial history, although some of the history is rather shameful, ie the triangular slave trading routes.

There are two Art Galleries on the waterfront,

the Arnolfini Arts Centre

The Watershed Media Centre

There are numerous Bars and Cafes close by.

Crossing the Swing Bridge leads to the Industrial Museum with the three cranes outside and during the summer months a Steam train ride to the SS Great Britain.

The Industrial Museum

Crossing back over the Swing Bridge, There is the Thekla Night Club. Many bars and cafes line the harbourside on the way back toward Bristol Bridge and Castle Park.

  1. Hi Jon, I can’t open up the photos of Bristol Docks, keep getting a message to say it’s an empty album. I last visited the docks with my parents about 35 years ago and do remember seeing the hull of the SS Great Britain which was undergoing renovation. The industrial museum looks good, I love stuff like that!
