Bristol
A Journey Through Time

Video By Design is one of the UKs biggest local interest video producers with over 6 years in the market. The Journey Through Time Collection started in 1993 with the release of programmes which take a historical look at towns and cities through the use of archive film. Over the years we have collected many hundreds of hours of films from all over the UK which give a unique insight into Britain in the 20th Century. We are always on the lookout for any archive films that may be included in our future productions so please contact us if you have any. In 1997 we began producing a new series which gave a more in-depth historical view of the places concerned. We very much hope that you will enjoy our programmes and that they will bring back many happy memories. In the meantime please read the brief synopsis of each video and if you are interested use the order form provided to send for your copy.
Best Wishes.
Using unique archive film preserved by Bristol City Council at the Bristol Record Office, we continue our journey through the history of Bristol in the twentieth century.

All the local Second World War sequences in this video were shot on high quality colour film by the Bristol firm of M.W.Dunscombe Ltd.

The film captures what it was like to live in and around the City of Bristol, from the period of the Blitz, to the celebrations that marked the end of the war in 1945.

This amazing full colour selection of national interest includes:

  • The bombed-out city centre in 1942 and the destruction to Bristol's historic buildings
  • Rationing and Salvage efforts.
  • Street scenes of Bristolians going about their lives at the height of the war.
  • The contribution of the Americans to the life of the city at the time.
  • Holiday camps and rest homes in the countryside for children made homeless in the Blitz.
  • The work of the Emergency Services and the Home Guard.
  • Women's war work.
  • Winston Churchill's visit to Bristol.
  • Celebrations to mark V.E. day.
