Our Heritage 2

The local history society has a substantial photograph archive maintained by Philip Watson of Lawrence’s Meadow. A selection of the photographs are displayed here with the kind permission of Esme and Graham Teale, Brenda Shelmerdine and the Gloucestershire Echo.

If you have any local photographs reflecting events and the environment in our local area from years gone by then the Society would love to hear from you.
