For many years now, we've been inviting visitors to our web site to add their own memories to share their experiences of life as it was when the photographs in our archive were taken. From brief one-liners explaining a little bit more about the image depicted, to great, in-depth accounts of a childhood when things were rather different than today (and everything inbetween!). We've had many contributors recognising themselves or loved ones in our photographs.

Why not add your memory today and become part of our Memories Community to help others in the future delve back into their past.

Lost Places Of Bristol

Can anyone help me with some 'lost places' in Bristol? I'm trying to locate where Navarino Place was...and also St-Augustine-the-Less church. My Gtx3 grandfather died at no.6 Navarino Place in 1857 and many members of my family were christened/married at the above church. I'm trying to piece together their lives and what it would have been like for them working in Bristol at that time.

Can You Help?

Can anyone tell me if this photo is taken looking towards Victoria Street or towards High Street? In the 1860's my ancesters had a business "W & F Boucher, Tea Dealers" at 1 Bridge Parade, Bristol which was just at the end of the bridge on the Victoria Street side, before the crossroads. Could the building in the photograph, advertising Lloyds Tea, be their business? Hoping someone can help!
