Old Market

1910

Bustling with life and colour, this vibrant view of Old Market Street in Bristol captures the heartbeat of the city around 1910. Electric trams glide past crowds of shoppers, horse-drawn carts, and early automobiles — a striking reflection of a time when tradition met modernity. From the eye-catching Empire Theatre to the ornate shopfronts and signage, every corner tells a story of Edwardian enterprise and urban charm.

This image is more than just a street scene — it's a snapshot of daily life in a city full of energy and character at the dawn of the 20th century.
