      The long lost jobs of Bristol in pictures

      A new supplement is being launched which highlights the rich history of Bristol in pictures.

      Every Tuesday for the next six weeks the Bristol Post will be carrying the supplement, each with a distinctive theme.

      This Tuesday, January 26 the theme will be The Way We Worked – showcasing photos and articles on how people in and around Bristol earned their as far back as during the Second World War to seeing workers at Fry’s Chocolate Factory in Keynsham.

      You can pick up your copy of the Post in the usual places but can order yourself every single edition of the Memory Lane Supplement right here.

      You can also arrange delivery of the Bristol Post by calling 0333 202 8000 or clicking here.

      These will be the themes for the supplements in the coming weeks – all bursting with information and nostalgic pictures over the years in our great city.

      • Jan 26: The Way We Cared – NHS, key workers, war years, family life, schools

      • Feb 2: The Way We Played – Sport & Leisure

      • Feb 9: The Way We Worked – Working Life

      • Feb 16: Where We Lived – Landmarks, buildings, streets

      • Feb 23: The Way We Looked – Fashion, trends and youth culture over the years

      • Mar 2: The Way We Moved – Buses, trains, cars, trams and ship

      The host of articles and galleries are powered by www.memorylane.co.uk – a free nostalgic online picture archive providing a home for photographs that may have remained hidden for years.

      A rich, interactive and nostalgic archive with content searchable by location, date, topics, people, categories and more – it aims to create a bigger, more inclusive picture of history by allowing you to preserve, discover, share and colourise the past.

      The interactive image and nostalgia archive allows content to be searched by location, date, topics, people, categories and more.

      A destination for sharing, discussing, selling and viewing pictures of places and people from times gone by – images are uploaded from users, newspaper archives, communities, schools, museums, councils, local businesses and more.

      Despite events being cancelled nationwide, the new tool allows people to celebrate and share historical moments like Fireworks night and Remembrance Sunday.

      Backed by broadcaster, author and historian Professor Kate Williams, website MemoryLane.co.uk follows a YouGov survey carried out for Memory Lane suggesting that the past is in danger of being lost because 80% of Brits haven’t digitised all their photos.

      It revealed 67% of the population are looking for something that brings them comfort while more than half of UK adults (55%) are thinking about what we did before the pandemic.

      Almost a third of the population (31%) are looking at old photographs to get themselves through these strange times.

      The campaign video features diverse images that unite the nation and communities including Bonfire Night, Remembrance Sunday, the NHS, migration, Windrush and street parties.

      At the famous Wills tobacco factory in Bristol, the staff work overtime on their very popular brand of cigarettes which sell as much as 24% of the market. While this is going on, a production training school is preparing new staff to be integrated into the organisation. 7th February 1967.

      Professor Kate Williams said: “Photographs are one of the most important social documents we have access to, allowing us to understand society and communities from different generations.

      “We learn so much more about our past when we look at the photographs of everyday people as opposed to formal photos of royalty and aristocracy.

      “If important images languish in the loft, there is a real danger they may be lost forever.”
