This print takes us on a nostalgic journey back to the 1970s in Bristol, United Kingdom. The image showcases the Holms Sand and Gravel Company at the Bathurst Basin, situated opposite the General Hospital. As we delve into this snapshot of history, we are reminded of an era when industry thrived along the banks of the River Avon.
