Creative lockdown: Pete Griffiths

By Lowie Trevena  Monday May 4, 2020

Pete Griffiths is part of the ongoing Bristol24/7 Creative Lockdown series, showcasing how people in Bristol have been getting arty under lockdown.

A dad from Yatton has recorded the quietness of Bristol under lockdown.

Pete Griffiths, who travels into the centre of the city for work several times a week, wanted to record the “eerie stillness” of Bristol during the Government-enforced lockdown.

“The inspiration was wanting to create a memory of this time to show the kids when they grow up as I have never seen Bristol, or anywhere, like this,” says Pete, who hopes to create more videos.

“I am hoping it’s a once in a lifetime kind of thing.”
