Bristol Civic Day 2012 Photo Competition
This year, we are holding a photography competition in the city, with the theme: “I love Bristol because….” We want to encourage members of the public to take a photo of their favourite building or open space in Bristol, and to send this to us. The best of these photographs will be awarded prizes, based on creativity, imagination and originality. Photography Made Simple www.photographymadesimple.co.uk have kindly donated prizes of a day's photography course at Ashton Court for each category winner, and 121 tuition for the overall competition winner.

Historical Group
The focus of the Historical Group is on the history of the built environment. It covers both the city centre and other parts of Bristol; all aspects of the built environment - architecture, urban form, planning, social trends etc; and all historical periods up to the present day. Potential activities of the group will be: sharing and supporting each others’ research, promoting the care of heritage at risk, contributing to walks and events in the BCS programme. Sometimes the group’s activities will be in support of Society campaigns, and sometimes just for interest.
New members are always welcome. Please contact Alan Morris on

or 07766 442495 if you are interested in the group.
Subjects covered at recent meetings include:
Old Market: an illustrated talk on the history and architecture in Old Market by Matthew Winterbottom and Mariateresa Bucciante of Old Market Community Association, followed by a discussion of how to revitalise the area, and in doing so how Old Market’s history could be used to inform any future development. Historically, the Old Market area played an important part in the commerce and development of Bristol, but the killer stroke was the severance of Old Market from the central area of Bristol when the Inner Ring Road was created in the 1970s.
Gloucester Road: Chris Wallace described his aim to create a timeline of Gloucester Road: who lived where, which shops, etc, with historical information and pictures of individual shops. The website database would use archived street directories from 1870 to 1970. The plan is that interested individuals would each adopt a section of road.
