BRISTOL BUSES - AVONMOUTH BUS DEPOT REMEMBERED

THE BRISTOL OMNIBUS BUS DEPOT AT AVONMOUTH WAS ONE OF THE LEAST PHOTOGRAPHED BUS DEPOTS IN BRISTOL, SO THIS VIDEO HAS BEEN DIFFICULT TO PUT TOGETHER. HOWEVER, THANKS TO BRISTOL RECORD OFFICE I HAVE MANAGED TO FIND EARLY PHOTOS OF CHARABANCS AND BUSES IN AVONMOUTH AND ALSO PHOTOS OF THE LAST DAY OF OPERATION IN 1981. THE DEPOT WAS BUILT BY BRISTOL TRAMWAYS IN 1915 AND REMARKABLY MOST OF THE BUILDING STILL REMAINS.
