| Stow-on-the-Wold, Gloucestershire |
| Stow is a small market town set on top of a hill about 21 miles from Stratford-upon-Avon. When I was a lot younger I used to help deliver "Corona" round the town and got to know it quite well. The local saying "the wind blows cold at Stow-on-the-Wold" was certainly true in the winter ! But it's a nice place to visit and have your photo taken sitting in the stocks ! |
| The Stocks - an excellent "real photo" postcard which appears to be from the late 1930s. (Z) |
| A good, clear view of the Square from 1939. (Z) |
| This image was emailed to us from a friend in the USA - the card is unused so he couldn't give us a date. Compare the trees with the postcard above right. |
