| Description |
English: Bristol's Army Blood Transfusion Service, February 1944 A busy scene Colston Avenue in Bristol, showing pedestrians and vehicles going about their daily business. The statue of Edmund Burke has been covered in boards publicising the Ministry of Information blood donation campaign. Along with an illustration of a wounded serviceman and the dates of the campaign, the poster includes the words: "Enrol as a blood donor for the Second Front". In the background, the large warehouse buildings of Thos. Reynolds and Sons Ltd, a builders' merchant and iron monger and E Taylor and Sons Ltd, a leather merchant, can be seen. In addition, to the left of the photograph, is the large Bristol and West Building Society. Behind the warehouse buildings, the tower of St Stephen's Church on Corn Street is also clearly visible. Parked beside the statue is a blood transfusion van, which has a map on the rear which illustrates "Where your blood goes". |

[edit]This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.  |
