A Descriptive Account of each Place, POST-OFFICE INFORMATION, Copious Lists of the Public Buildings, Law and Public Officers - Particulars of Railroads, Coaches, Carriers, and Water Conveyances - Distance Tables, and other Useful Information. __________________________________________ MARCH 1849. ___________________________________________ Hunt & Co. produced several trade directories in the mid 1850s although the company was not prolific like Pigot and Kelly. The entry for Dursley and Berkeley, which also covered Cambridge, Uley and Newport, gave a comprehensive listing of the many trades people in the area together with a good gazetteer of what the town was like at that time. The entry for Dursley and Berkeley is found on pages 105-116. This transcription was carried out by Andrew Barton of Dursley in 2005. All punctuation and spelling of the original is retained. In addition the basic layout of the original work has been kept, although page breaks are likely to have fallen in different places.

  • Review of the Year 2017-18
    REVIEW OF THE YEAR 2017-18 The Annual Report of Cotswold District Council COTSWOLD DISTRICT COUNCIL Welcome to Cotswold District Council’s Review of the Year for 2017-18 We have had yet another good year in 2017/18, addressing a wide range of top tasks and also achieving planned savings of over £200,000. Our success stems in part from our partnership (within the Publica Group) - with three other councils - West Oxfordshire, Forest of Dean and Cheltenham. Through working within this partnership, we managed to freeze our portion of the Council Tax bill for 2017/18 at a time when the vast majority of authorities increased costs. Previously we froze our share in 2016/17, reduced it by 5% in 2015/16, reduced it by 3% in 2014/15 and by 5% in 2013/14 . The freeze for 2017/18 meant that the actual amount being charged was lower than the figure ten years ago. In other words, the typical payment for a resident in a Band D property would have seen a real terms cut of 25% over the last six years. We have also frozen charges for car parking and garden waste collections. We can also report further progress on several flood alleviation projects in the Cotswold district. Additionally, we delivered 247 affordable homes during 2017/18, comfortably ahead of our goal of delivering a minimum of 150 homes. Thanks to the efforts of our residents we continue to achieve the highest levels of recycling in Gloucestershire (almost 60%% of all household waste is recycled, reused or composted).

  • Norborne Berkeley's Politics.Indd 197 25/01/2012 09:55 198 William Evans
    Trans. Bristol & Gloucestershire Archaeological Society 129 (2011), 197–219 Norborne Berkeley’s Politics: Principle, Party or Pragmatism? By WILLIAM EVANS Introduction This paper examines an aspect of the political career of Norborne Berkeley, baron Botetourt, who lived 1717–1770. A south Gloucestershire landowner, mine owner and tory, he was elected MP for Gloucestershire in 1741 with support from the jacobite Beauforts, into whose family his sister married.1 Whatever may have been the terms of that support, Berkeley distanced himself from their jacobitism and, though remaining a tory (and therefore at first proscribed from office), he became a loyal supporter of the Hanoverians, generally aligning himself with, but not overtly joining, political groupings as inclination and principle suggested. After the broad-bottom administration relaxed the prohibitions against tories holding official posts, Berkeley achieved some, but never high, political office – a proposal that he be appointed secretary at war was blocked – but under Bute he obtained a place at the court of George III, and successfully claimed a dormant peerage. Fortuitously he moved the fateful resolution that precipitated the American revolution. When he encountered financial difficulties through investment in a manufacturing company, he was helped by appointment as governor of Virginia, where his loyalty to the king conflicted with his personal sympathy with the colonists. Most historians have ignored Berkeley. Those that have noticed him tend to disregard or dismiss his political
