Peter Davey

Peter Davey produced a series of postcards on Bristol trams, some featuring photographs taken by his father S Miles Davey. Because the tram depot in Brislington played a significant role in the city's tramway system, these postcards naturally include much of local interest.

Peter has written numerous books on aspects of Bristol's history, in particular its network of trams (a subject he's also covered in books for other places in Gloucestershire and Somerset) and is well known for his talks to local history groups etc. His book Bristol's Tramways has a photograph of the Brislington depot on the front cover, and there's a wealth of information inside.

Stuart Miles Davey was born in Bristol in 1907 to parents both also from this city; he married in Stoke Bishop in 1931, and died in 1989.
