BRISTOL AS IT WAS - EASTVILLE REMEMBERED

[@radicalcartoons2766]

At 1:16 The Concorde brings back happy memories of living just off St Mark's Road. I used to get home from work, watch Eastenders, then stroll down to the cinema. This was in the mid-80s.

Love this. I grew up in Eastville From 67 to 83 and even though I'm in St George, I still miss Eastville. My dad had a barber shop by the concord cinema which was later bought by Rajani.

Glad you like it!

At 4:20 on that old postcard, I believe that to be the University boat house. It was burnt down, and all that is left of it is a concrete platform. The University students blamed the Suffragettes, and burned down their shop at the top of Park Street, in 1913, in retaliation.

@@historymandave4739 yes, I enjoyed it thoroughly.. After leaving Eastville I didn't stray far living in Fishponds, Kingswood/Hanham. Been in Bridgwater now these past two and a half years. I have fond memories of my Childhood in Eastville 😉
