2. Bristol As It Was


Reece published 37 volumes of photographs from the collection. His son, John has published a further seven volumes, including an index of photographs.
A brief biography of Reece appears in vol. 40. As a result of this successful publishing project, Bristol enjoys an unparalleled photographic record.

A fair number of new copies of various titles of this long-running and authoritative series are available by post. They are only available from Reece Winstone Archive, not from bookshops or wholesalers.

In the main the Bristol collection has been published in 41 volumes, with just a few important exceptions and some colour work.
An electronic, cumulative index of the published Bristol photographs has been completed.
