Old Gloucester
The two pictures on the left
show a couple of charity
events in the city during the
early 1960s.
Who remembers the
Wishing Well in Kings Square?
Here we see a number of civic
dignitaries lining up to make a
wish.
One sign on the well says,
‘Ever wet a one pound note?
Here’s your chance’
It looks to me as if the Mayor
was about to drop a coin on
the head of a little boy!
This picture on the left was
taken inside St. Michaels
Tower, The Cross.
The idea was to fill the box
with coins to match the ladies
weight.
All proceeds were then given
to the Association for the Deaf.
Both these ideas seem to be
better than rattling a tin at
passers by.
Right.
Here’s a bevy of beauties from the 1967
Miss Gloucester Contest.
The photograph was kindly sent in by Kath
who tells us the winner was June Morgan
who, oddly enough, is in the second row
from the front with the blond hair and
belt around her waist.
They all look winners to us.
Old Gloucester. The photographic nostalgia site.
