Clifton, from the Ferry, 1850: A Scenic View of Bristol's Aristocratic Suburb Before the Suspension Bridge This photograph, taken from the Ferry in 1850, showcases the picturesque scene of Clifton, a mile from the bustling city of Bristol in England. At the time, Clifton was already a popular attraction for visitors arriving by the Great Western Railway. The well-wooded heights of Clifton are beautifully depicted in this image, with its elegant crescent of houses nestled among the hills. The Clifton Gorge, which is visible in the foreground, is a geographical feature that adds to the charm of this landscape. The Avon River, with its estuary mouth and sailing ships, adds a touch of maritime history to the scene. The rowhouses, terraced houses, and structures along the hillsides are reminiscent of the Victorian era, offering a glimpse into the past. This photograph was published in the "Illustrated London News" in 1850, providing a record of Clifton before the construction of the iconic Clifton Suspension Bridge, which opened in 1864. The bridge, an engineering marvel of its time, would forever change the way people accessed Clifton and the surrounding area. The print, which is engraved, provides a unique perspective of Clifton and its surroundings, offering a glimpse into the past and the beauty of the region before the bridge's construction. This photograph is a testament to the rich history and architectural heritage of Clifton and Bristol.
