Bristol Transport by Dave Cheesley

Within these covers are over 200 old photographs concerning the history of transport in Bristol. Many of these pictures are rare and come from the author's private collection, which has been painstakingly built up over more than three decades. The pictures are supported with expertly written captions, all of which contain a wealth of detail. This eclectic collection contains images of both private and commercial vehicles, including examples from the days of horse- drawn transport, trains, steam-powered road vehicles, trams, buses, charabancs, coaches, cars, lorries and bikes. Anyone who is familiar with Bristol and its past will recognise vehicles belonging to great local names, amongst them Fry's, George's, Greyhound, Midland and Great Western. This book is essential reading for both dedicated transport enthusiasts and nostalgic Bristolians. It will appeal to anyone who has an interest in road or rail transport as well as those who remember, or are curious, about the way Bristol used to be.
