Blacksmiths Corner
I am currently researching my family history in Sandhurstnand and I am hoping someone might have some record of the smithy in the village. From census returns I know my family lived at the blacksmiths shop until the mid 1860s. A number of the family are buried in St Lawrence's churchyard. The Hobbs family were also blacksmiths at Twigworth smithy up until 1907 when my grandfather moved away.
'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.
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.
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.
Great Grand Father John Pope !!
Hello,
I'm trying to find the most possible information about him. My mother always said he had a very nice "chauffeur" called Baker who came to fetch her and took her back.
With all I can find I'll write for my grand children.
Thanks to Orion, perhaps ??
Regards

Brunswick Baptist Church, Gloucester
Hi, Brunswick Baptist Church (Brun) is going to be celebrating it's 200th anniversary next year. I am looking for old photos, memories, etc that could possibly feature in a book we are trying to put together. We start out in New Inn Lane in 1813 (possibly in a room in the pub) and then moved to Brunswick Road, where we got the name from. There may be historians out there that have some pieces of of vast 200 year old jgsaw. If you have anything and would like to contribute, then please do so. Many Thanks
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
