EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Bristol in the 1920s. Standing tall and proud, we are presented with a magnificent view of Merchant Venturers Hall, an iconic building that once served as the home to the esteemed Society of Merchant Venturers. The hall's grandeur is undeniable, its architectural beauty commanding attention from all who pass by. From Prince Street, our gaze is drawn towards this historic landmark and its neighboring establishment, The Merchant Arms. Both buildings proudly occupy their corner on King Street, adding to the charm and character of this vibrant cityscape. However, it is important to acknowledge the tragic fate that awaited these structures during the devastating Bristol Blitz of 1940 and 1941. This image serves as a poignant reminder of what was lost during those dark times. Preserved within this print is not just a snapshot in time but also a testament to resilience and strength. It allows us to reflect upon Bristol's rich history while appreciating how far it has come since then. Displayed at STEAM Museum of GWR (Great Western Railway), this photograph captures both architectural marvels and historical significance. As we admire this scene frozen in time, let us remember those who lived through such challenging periods and honor their enduring spirit that continues to shape our world today.
