The Potters' Cottage on the hilltop
I knew Fred Potter and his family in the early 1960s - Fred and I dated for a while. Many times we got off the bus on the main road (I lived in Nailsworth), often straight from school - he at Marling, me at High School. We'd then walk past the lake and up that hill - seemed no distance in... [more]

I first knew Brimscombe in the 1950s. I was brought up between Toadsmoor and Middle Lypiatt. In this starkly isolated location, it took a devoted beer drinker to travel through the darkness to the nearest pub. My Dad was of such a breed, and every evening he would go to the Bottle and Jug of the Port Inn in Brimscombe, more... [more]

Cheltenham Photographic Memories
The population of Cheltenham grew from three thousand in 1801 to over thirteen thousand just twenty years later; this was a sure sign of Cheltenham's success as a spa town and residential centre. Cheltenham has remained a very green city, with many trees, shrubs and flowerbeds.

Cheltenham Photographic Memories
Cheltenham today has a thriving musical and literary festival, and many other connections with the arts. One of the town's most famous sons was Gustav Holst, born in 1874, a pupil at Cheltenham Grammar School. Holst composed music inspired by the local scenery long before he became famous for 'The Planets' and 'Egdon Heath'.

Cheltenham Photographic Memories
It is possible to work out the dates of Cheltenham's terraces by comparing the architectural styles. The early terraces, such as Royal Crescent, lacked the adornment of some of the later buildings; they have iron railings around their balconies instead of stone archways and colonnades.
