This presentation is part of the Gloucestershire Archives Green Pledge project and will be a look at the varied environmental records that are held at the archives. It’ll cover a broad and diverse range of topics, from the Commissioner of Sewers to the Verderers of Dean and as much else as we can put in between.
We will look at anglers, gamekeepers, farmers, coal miners, quarrymen, and commercial fishermen and will feature allotments, recreational activities, footpaths, floods, rivers, streams waste disposal, pollution, transport, local foods and wildlife, all of which fit into the rich heritage that makes up ‘green’ Gloucestershire. So, if you want to discover about the ‘vert’ and the ‘vermin’ this will be the talk for you!
