Family of Fowler
Not a memory but an historical fact. I have traced my family back to Leigh circa 1750. The patriarch was Anthony Fowler, a carpenter from Bishops Cleeve. He married Mary Attwood of Bishops Cleeve in 1749. They had 10 children, all born and christened in Leigh. They were Giles (1750-1752), Mary (1752-1752), Richard (1753), Sarah (1755), Mary (again 1756-1756), Elizabeth (1758-1758), Jane (1759), William (1761), John (1763) and my ancester Charles Attwood Fowler (1767).
I am keen to receive any information about this family. Any mention in old documentation relating to where they may have lived in Leigh and any work Anthony or any of the others may have carried out in the area.
Thank you

War time memories
This is the department store Bon Marshe filmed from outside the post office, During the war, part of the store was taken over by the American forces and many a date was arranged, to meet under the clock on the far corner. I remember queueing most Saturdays outside to buy currant bread for a treat for Sunday tea, also nylons which were like gold dust. On the opposite side was the up market store Dentons.

The Oxbode
This is a fine picture of The Oxbode, with the Bon Marché on the right and the old Boots frontage in Northgate Street at the end.
Barton Street it is not.

'Sabrina'.
I am certain the steamer is 'Sabrina' built in 1870 and was the steam inspection launch of the Directors and Engineer of the Gloucester and Berkeley Ship Canal, Gloucester. In 1912 'Sabrina' was owned by the Dock Company and did not leave their service until 1942. 'Sabrina' is still in regular use now on the River Thames and still in steam.

And finally the river winds its way into the city. The cathedral stands proud above Gloucester, overseeing the city's affairs, overseeing the past, and overseeing the future.

This photograph shows a picturesque gateway at Longford’s Lake. The lake was created in 1806 as a reservoir to feed the large nearby cloth mill run by the Playne family.

Over stands close by to Maisemore on the A40, encompassing the River Severn and the River Leadon. As we pass Over, one can call in at the Dog, a pleasant pub.
An extract from from"Gloucester Photographic Memories".
Maisemore village stands on the west bank of the River Severn. It is prone to flooding - in 2000, the White Hart pub was completely surrounded with water. A walk around Maisemore taking in the lake is very pleasing.
