Bristol after the war
In the decades after the war, some men and women in Bristol prospered while others suffered.
Thousands of former servicemen returned home, though they did not all find the bright future they might have expected.
The city changed as new houses were built and industries grew. Some women found greater freedom while others faced the struggle of bringing up a family alone.
