This is a regular series of blogs about photographs of the same place taken years apart. The first of the posts in this series was of a council building in Manchester. I always thought I should give then and now photographs a go. However what I have started to notice is that I have been doing Then and Now photographs unintentionally over the years and have been taking photographs of the same thing or place from the same view or perspective years apart. Now this has come to my attention I have started to intentionally take photographs of the same place.
After going through some old photographs I found some of the Bristol Harbourside, so decided to go back to where I had taken these then photographs and take some new now photographs.
I took this photograph of the Industrial Museum on the Bristol Harbourside either in 1995 or 1996. It was taken with my Canon SLR using film.
I wasn’t exactly sure which vantage point I had taken the original image. The broken guardrail had been fixed.
Of course the Industrial Museum as was, was closed and replaced with the MShed
The railway tracks have also gone.
Find it interesting that the Balmoral is in both photographs in roughly the same place.
