Thankyou for this, but I was really looking forward to seeing King’s Square. When I was a child 50/60s it was the bus station and the department store all along one side - the Bon Marche - was a magical place, mind you, you could do a whole programme on King’s Square and it’s changes.
I like this, especially as Gloucester was my home city. I moved out when the city lost its purpose, when the massive farmers market closed down, the RAF personnel centre closed and 10,000 well paid manufacturing jobs disappeared from the Gloucester/Cheltenham area. I fail to see why Gloucester appears to be quite affluent.
This is a very well done example of how many UK towns have been ruined by 20th century development. Such a shame, but it's still interesting to see what has been lost. Gloucester wasn't even that badly bombed during the war. It's post-war "improvement" schemes that have made it what it is today.
