| Stow is a small market town set on top of a hill about 21 miles from Stratford. 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. |
| Three rather uninspiring views of the Cotswolds from Stow. |
| A good, clear view of the Square from 1939. |
| 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 on the right. |

| Three more postcards emailed by our US friend - unfortunately the image quality is not quite so good as usual, but there is still a lot of detail if you click on them. |
| A further emailed view from the USA - this card appears to be from the 1950s. |
| Stow Church - a postcard by Frank Packer of Chipping Norton |
Church Street, probably in the 1960s. |
| No date on this view of the Square, but no cars in the picture. |
| Two great old postcards of the Square. These are "real photo" postcards, taken by Frank Packer of Chipping Norton, probably in the 1920s. |
