Bristol After The Bombs explores the dramatic rebuilding of the city after it was heavily bombed by the Luftwaffe during the Second World War. In the 1950s, much of central Bristol was reconstructed, and the Broadmead shopping centre emerged as a symbol of the city’s recovery and progress. Illustrated by evocative archive film, previously unreleased on DVD, and stunning period photographs, this programme delves into the social, economic, and architectural changes that shaped Bristol’s post-war landscape. It is a fascinating look at the resilience and innovation that transformed the city into what it is today.
