News / 10 things to do this week
7 historic photographs of St Anne’s
This week, we delved into Bristol Archives and uncovered a collection of postcards from the turn of the 20th century, showing the historic area of St Anne’s including urban life as well as the famous woodland. A lot of St Anne’s woods still remains now and relies on wonderful community volunteers to keeping the place as beautiful as ever.
