Heather Watts has found this amazing photograph of the Carriageworks and neighbouring buildings prior to Westmoreland House being built. Photo probably dates from the early 60s. Where’s the traffic?!!!

The photograph was taken by Reece Winstone and appears in the book ‘Bristol as it was 1963-1975’. Accordng to the caption it was taken at 2.45 pm 23rd March 1963.
There is a nice exhibition of Reece Winstone’s photographs currently on show at the RWA in Queens Road

The registration on the car leaving A1 Motoring School is pre-1963, so I reckon the picture is early 1960s at the latest.
Gosh, we got so used to heavy traffic. Where did it all go so wrong.. 🙁
