"Westgate Street, Gloucester, contains some good
examples of old timbered houses. 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.
An undated postcard of the docks.
The New Inn.
When I was in the Royal Navy in 1958, I used to pass through
Gloucester twice a week - hitch-hiking from Pucklechurch to
Stratford. I got to know the city centre quite well. As well as the
cathedral, the docks provide an interesting historical area for visitors.
