The dramatic maritime skyline of Bristol is captured in this authentic 1970s colour photograph from 1976. The archival image focuses on the Parish Church of St Mary Redcliffe, whose famous 19th-century spire rises elegantly above the surrounding city. The church’s silhouette is perfectly reflected in the still, dark waters of the Floating Harbour during a clear afternoon. In the foreground, the industrial and recreational life of the docks is evident, with a small blue-and-white pleasure cruiser and a larger workboat with a red crane moored alongside the weathered stone quay. To the right, a row of white and pastel-coloured Georgian-style terraced houses sits atop the Redcliffe wharf, overlooking the water. This factual record documents the historic Redcliffe district during the mid-1970s, showcasing the architectural beauty of what Queen Elizabeth I once described as the fairest parish church in all of England.
