  • Two, Possibly Three Underground Workings (Connected History. a Full Archival Search Has Not Been Undertaken, However, Arkell
    Reprinted from: Glouoestershire Society for Industrial Archaeology Journal for 1994 pages 23-27 UNDERGROUND QUARRX'WORKIHGS AT QUARRY WOOD, SHERBORHE PARK, GLOUCESTERSHIRE. Arthur J Price. Two, possibly three underground workings (connected underground) are situated in the south west corner of the open quarry at Quarry Wood, Sherborne Park, Gloucestershire, National Grid Reference SP 16561408, altitude 165 m. They were surveyed with the permission and help of the National Trust in September 1993. Total surveyed length: 140 m, and vertical range 3.92 m. A copy of this report was sent to the National Trust who are undertaking an archaeological appraisal of the Park. History. A full archival search has not been undertaken, however, Arkell (1947) records the use of ‘Sherborne Stone‘ at Windsor, and later Oxford, from 1365. More specifically, Hull (1857) shows an engraving of the open quarry at Quarry Wood. He makes no mention of underground workings, but does at nearby Windrush where the quarry was worked underground before 1840. Arkell states that three galleries could be entered at Quarry Wood in the 1940s and that the quarry had remained in use until 1915 for estate use. This type of underground quarry came within the scope of various Government Mining and Quarrying Acts from c. 1880, however Sherborne does not appear in these mineral lists. No datable evidence was found underground for primary working, but the above data and more specifically the style of working, deterioration of wooden props, etc, points probably to a date c. 1860 - 1880, unless they were later worked illegally‘. Subsequent to the survey, members of the Gloucester Speleological Society found clay pipe.

  • Ledbury to Gloucester Copy Better
    Ledbury to Gloucester Railway Ledbury to Gloucester by rail Taken from David Postle’s book of the same name and is seen through the eyes of the Driver and Fireman of the last passenger train on the branch on the 11th July 1959. The driver was Jack Folley and the fireman Jim Kavanagh. Jim checked the fire again and looked at the pressure gauge, and decided that he ought to put a little more coal on the fire. He picked up his shovel, opened the fire hole doors and placed half a dozen shovelfuls round the firebox, turned on the injector again because he knew that shortly he would be stopping at Barber’s Bridge with a minute or two in hand to gain any pressure that might be lost by putting more water into the boiler. He picked up a little hand brush and swept the coal dust from the floorboards of the cab. ‘Even when the railway was opened, no attempt was made to advertise the new service. It wasn’t until the end of August that the G.W.R. advertised a summer excursion from Cheltenham to Malvern via Newest. The line was obviously considered important by some because, in the sales particulars of property on the market at that time, the proximity to the new railway was very often stressed’ ‘Did the railway look as though it might fulfil its potential’, asked Jim. ‘Early newspaper reports were very optimistic. The first five weeks saw over 2000 passengers booked at Newest and just over half that at Dymock.’ ‘Talking in the early days,’ said Jim, ‘the guard told me at Ledbury that we have an elderly gentleman on board who travelled on the first train, and here he is, on the last one over the Branch.’ ‘Is that right? I suppose it just goes to show how short-lived this Branch has been.’ ‘Whilst on the subject of people, did I tell you about Dick Nash?’ asked Jack.

  • Communications Roads Cheltenham Lies on Routes Connecting the Upper Severn Vale with the Cotswolds to the East and Midlands to the North
    DRAFT – VCH Gloucestershire 15 [Cheltenham] Communications Roads Cheltenham lies on routes connecting the upper Severn Vale with the Cotswolds to the east and Midlands to the north. Several major ancient routes passed nearby, including the Fosse Way, White Way and Salt Way, and the town was linked into this important network of roads by more local, minor routes. Cheltenham may have been joined to the Salt Way running from Droitwich to Lechlade1 by Saleweistrete,2 or by the old coach road to London, the Cheltenham end of which was known as Greenway Lane;3 the White Way running north from Cirencester passed through Sandford.4 The medieval settlement of Cheltenham was largely ranged along a single high street running south-east and north-west, with its church and manorial complex adjacent to the south, and burgage plots (some still traceable in modern boundaries) running back from both frontages.5 Documents produced in the course of administering the liberty of Cheltenham refer to the via regis, the king’s highway, which is likely to be a reference to this public road running through the liberty. 6 Other forms include ‘the royal way at Herstret’ and ‘the royal way in the way of Cheltenham’ (in via de Cheltenham). Infringements recorded upon the via regis included digging and ploughing, obstruction with timbers and dungheaps, the growth of trees and building of houses.7 The most important local roads were those running from Cheltenham to Gloucester, and Cheltenham to Winchcombe, where the liberty administrators were frequently engaged in defending their lords’ rights. Leland described the roads around Cheltenham, Gloucester and Tewkesbury as ‘subject to al sodeyne risings of Syverne, so that aftar reignes it is very foule to 1 W.S.
