In one of those shown in the picture (at that time the property of Robert Ingram) lodged Bishop Hooper the night before he was burnt at the stake in St. Mary's Square, Saturday, 9th February, 1555". This lovely old postcard was mailed in May 1919. |

| Gloucester is a port and the county town of Gloucestershire, in south-west England. It lies on the River Severn close to the Welsh border about 45 miles south-west of Birmingham. It has a lovely cathedral, whilst since the 1980s the docks, which had fallen into disrepair, have been redeveloped and now provide an interesting historical area for visitors. |
