More about this scene
Lack of major industrial development in Tewkesbury meant that the town retained much of its 17th- and 18th-century character and did not experience much of an explosion in its population. In 1831, a year the old man on the left of the picture might well have remembered, Tewkesbury's population of just 5780 returned two MPs to Parliament, though this did not beat Old Sarum, whose seven electors also returned two MPs. Bristol, with a population of 150,000, also returned two MPs, but Stroud and Cheltenham were not represented.
