Old Gloucester
Here are two interesting pictures sent
in by Gale Fletcher.
On the left is St. Michael’s Church that
was once on The Cross with the main
body of the building in Eastgate Street,
Gloucester. Only the 15th century
tower remains today, the church was
demolished in 1956.
Below, and still looking toward The Cross,
but this time from Eastgate Street
toward Westgate, Gloucester we can
see the major work that was
undertaken to install the tram line
junction which linked the four main
streets of North, South, East and
Westgate.
The Tramway system was installed in
1904 and the electricity to power it
came a generating station in
Commercial Rd, Gloucester which was
opened in 1900.
