Fascinating pictures showing Bristol city centre and surrounding areas at the height of the tram era were sold at auction in 2022.
Many of the images had not been seen since they were published in the early 20th century, a small sample of which we were able to obtain.
While many of the buildings in the pictures are still standing, the road layouts and modes of transport - trams and horse-drawn carts - are unrecognisable to what we see today.
Bristol was proudly the first city in the country to see electric trams, with the first introduced in 1895. But the trams went into decline with the rise in popularity of cars before bombing of the city in the Second World War spelled the end of the era.
