    Oh wow this is awesome! Lived here in Bristol since I was 2, moved from Surrey, and all my children ever known. If you want some more "on the same spot" photos of some of those locations to blend in we could arrange that. Live not 20mins walk from Southmead hospital. Thankyou for making this!

    As 50 year old Bristolian I was impressed by this. Shame a lot of brilliant True Bristol folk have been replaced by rich strangers from London. We are being milked for every penny. And soon I will have to pay to use the road to go to work. And sit for an hour to do 4 miles because the roads are being closed. I got 2 kids and a ton of tools I need to use a car. What a shame.🤔🤔

      Bristol really has gone downhill, I was shocked at how many abandoned shops in the centre and homeless folk there were. Don't get me wrong it's still a nice city but is being ruined by the government, council and mayor.

      @@levdup2330 I think you will find that rent and rates for pubs, shops and small business in most Towns and Cities have increased higher than inflation (unless you are a fake Charity shop) and Markets throughout the Country (the Heart) have been decimated again with ridiculous laws and high rents whilst the Supermarkets continue to expand. The corrupt Town Halls are a big part of the problem imo.

Lots of wastelands with dirty graffiti, littered streets, an extremely uninteresting, boring center. Next year I will move to a nicer city

It was great in the 1980's, 1990's and first half of the 2000's but just seems full of Londoners and been too gentrified.

    I’m quite sad to see Colston statue missing, whilst I do totally understand the feelings of those who pulled it down, I feel there should have been a better way. Perhaps a notice describing an accurate history of the man and maybe a statue alongside of someone important in the struggle for Black rights. To be fair I don’t know if the protesters had previously tried to get something done and failed or perhaps they thought that nobody would listen or care. All politics aside, it’s a part of Bristol history for better or worse. I grew up near Bristol and lived there for some years, including living in St Pauls district for a couple of years,
