MF0133 Old Avon Gorge Jetty

Old Jetty on River Avon in Bristol

Part of the old wooden jetty used by the P&A Campbell White Funnel paddle steamers which once ran pleasure trips from Bristol to locations such as Newport, Wales. Visible in the background, under the Clifton Suspension Bridge buttress, is the tunnel used by the Portishead Railway – axed by Beeching in the 1960s but later re-opened for freight traffic to Royal Portbury Dock.
