LOOKING BACK - BRISTOL IN THE 1970s

FOR MY 50TH VIDEO I THOUGHT THAT I WOULD LOOK BACK TO MY FAVOURITE DECADE, THE 1970s. THE LAST DECADE BEFORE THE MICROCHIP TOOK OVER OUR LIVES.
EVENTS REMEMBERED ARE,
1970 RETURN OF THE SS GREAT BRITAIN.
1974 THREE DAY WEEK AND THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO BRISTOL.
1975 COMPLETE OPENING OF THE M32.
1976 DROUGHT AND ENTRY INTO SERVICE OF THE HIGH SPEED TRAIN AND CONCORDE.
1977 QUEEN'S SILVER JUBILEE.
SEVERAL OF THE IMAGES IN THIS VIDEO WERE TAKEN BY STEPHEN DOWLE. STEPHEN TOOK LOTS OF OTHER BRILLIANT PHOTOS OF BRISTOL IN THE 1970s AND 1980s. THEY ARE AVAILABLE TO VIEW ON FLICKR.
