Can you help identify the photographer of any of these postcards published in Brislington?
Two generations of the Comer family published postcards - Alfred and his son James. They ran the post office at the junction of Bath Road and Winchester Road (now simply a shop). The earliest known postcards from Alfred date to 1915, while the earliest for James are from 1922. The first eleven pictures below were published by Alfred, the rest are from James.
The photographer usually owns the copyright (licencing the publisher to reproduce them) and although that artist may no longer be alive, copyright continues to protect their pictures for a further seventy years. So, knowing who the photographer was and/or who inherited rights to the pictures, helps us celebrate their work and may also set us on track to publish these unique views of Brislington from more than a century ago.
Please share the link to this page with anyone who could help (please don't copy the pictures themselves though), or email us with information - or even clues - about any of these pictures.
Incidentally, if you have a copy of any of these - or another postcard of Brislington & St Anne's - please get in touch (each one we can include in our survey helps us understand and promote this wealth of visual heritage).
