Bath Bridge
Before the main bridge was built across the valley the main route into the town was steep and difficult to access. A small bridge over the stream formed the dry route in wet weather but as anyone who has climbed up the former Black Horse Hill will know - it’s steep either up or down.In 1774 the turnpike commissioners employed a local mason, Thomas Webb, to build Bath Bridge. Levelling commenced in November 1774 and the bridge was completed in April 1776.1837Cottage and land near the Bath Bridge(Gloucestershire Archives Ref.D566/T/2/23)1859Cottage and land near the Bath Bridge(Gloucestershire Archives Ref.D566/T/2/23)Cottage near the Bath Bridge(Gloucestershire Archives Ref.D566/T/2/25)1881Tetbury Bath Bridge, Lease of one arch of Tetbury Bath Bridge or Viaduct with letters(Gloucestershire Archives Ref.Q/AB/17)1882The Clerk of the County Works reported at a meeting of Gloucestershire Quarter Sessions that Bath Bridge was out of repair [along with several others in the county](Gloucester Journal - Saturday 07 January 1882 page 8 col.f)1886Conveyance of newly erected messuage in Chipping Lane, Tetbury and tenement/room adjoining, used as chapel, and of a cottage, garden and premises in tithing of Charlton, parish of Tetbury, near the Bath Bridge on the turnpike road (the garden being used as a cemetery)(Withers & Williams, Tyndall Drew)(Gloucestershire Archives Ref.D2742/4)1937Report of Bankruptcy of Bath Bridge Garage appeared in several local newspapers.1949Illustrations include church and Bath bridge from CutwellTetbury rural district official guide c.1949 (Gloucestershire Archives Ref.R300.13(1)GS)1952photograph of church from across Bath Bridge(Face of Gloucestershire, the story of Tetbury; Little, Bryan; Gloucestershire countryside, Vol. 7, 1949-52, p. 462-5)1980-1990Cotswold Division bridge register 1-400: Bath Bridge [Tetbury] (188); Drawbridge [Tetbury] (189)(Gloucestershire Archives Ref.K1870/3/1)

Garstons/Gastons
Horse Garstons or Gastons, meaning a horse pasture is situated on the dividing point of Hampton Street, on the way out of Tetbury.
In 1804 a small farm, in the possession of Mr Richard Constable was to be auctioned off. It consisted of a barn, two stables, wagon houses, Court well supplied with water, paddock, pasture and arable land altogether about 17 acres.
On the 1840s tithe map fields called Horse Garstons are clearly marked, two as arable, and one as pasture.
In 1860 there appear to be four homes occupied, owned by John Cook senior, and inhabited by Elijah Mann, William Price, James Topps and Joseph West. There were also 3 parcels of land owned by John Cook.

Gumstool Hill
41 propertiesIn 1248 this was the main route from the town, being the Bristol to Cirencester road.The name of Gumstool Hill probably comes from the Middle age punishment of ducking people who were a bit of a gossip or scold, (in Middle age speak 'gummy'). There was a pond at the bottom of the hill, which was probably used for this punishment. This form of treatment, mainly of women, began in the fifteenth century. A ducking stool was used in 1502.It is the earliest recorded street in Tetbury and was Cirencester Street in the early thirteenth century. It has also been known as Union Street and Cicester Street.The survey of 1594 shows a row of nine houses on the north west side of the street that belonged to Queen Elizabeth I. These are in all probability the ones from The Crown downwards.In the C16th the houses at the bottom led to open fields. The pool at the bottom is known as Horsepool Bottom.The Angel was in trade on Gumstool Street before 1693, the date on the stone above the former carriage entrance, reads ‘MV1693’. The building was rebuilt in this period and a shoe was found in the fabric of the building, which has been dated from c.1670. This was on display in the bar. The building is gabled and located at the top end of the street, and is now known as The Crown.On the same side of the street as The Crown was a tavern called the Catherine Wheel, which was recorded as early as 1459. The Queens Arms was in business between 1668-1760, but closed to become stables for a house on The Chipping. The Horseshoe, which adjoined the little market house became The Mitre before 1719. The Prince and Princess opened in 1766. The Royal Oak, at the bottom of the hill opened in the C18th and is still in trade today.At the entrance to the street there was a small island of buildings included a forge, an inn and a small market house.Walking down the hill there are many small houses of the C17th and C18th. Number 22 is part of the C18th terrace. This has a block Tudor arched doorway exactly in line with the passageway of No. 15 The Chipping.Kingsley House was the workhouse, built in 1790 by George Hopkins. It was rebuilt in 1905-06 largely by V.A. Lawson.At the bottom of the hill a small ornate house built in 1741, called Delburn House. This is an ashlarfaced building of two storeys plus attic, the windows have moulded architraves.OWNERS:BENNETT, ISAAC [Cottage]; BROWN, FRANCIS [2 cottages]; CLARK, GEO ['Malt House', 2 houses, 3 cottages]; COLE, G B [2 houses, 5 cottages]; COX, JAMES [house]; FRY, ESTHER [4 cottages]; FRY, J [4 cottages]; HARRIS, ANN [house]; LEACY, THOMAS [3 cottages]; MESSERS HOLBOROW & HATHERALL [cottage]; NEEMES, TIMOTHY [3 cottages]; PONTING, WM [2 cottages]; PURNELL, EDWARD [5 cottages]; SAUNDERS, THOMAS [cottage]; SEALY, JOHN [1 house, 2 cottages]; SEALY, SARAH [cottage, Crown Inn]; SMITH, DAN W [cottage]; WICKHAM, JOHN C [house etc]RESIDENTS:AGG; ALSOP 1841; ASHBEE 1901; BABB; BANKS 1901; BARNFIELD 1860; BARRETT 1860; BAYLISS; BEER 1860; BENNETT 1860, 1901; BIGWOOD 1901; BISHOP 1860; BROWN 1860, 1901; BROWNING 1860; BULL 1901, BUNTING 1860; BYE 1901; CLARK 1860; CLEAVER 1841, 1860, 1891; CLEVERLY;COLE 1860; CONSTABLE 1841; COOK; COOLING; COVE; COX 1851, 1860; CRAWFORD; CREW; CULL 1860, 1901; DEE 1860; DYER 1901; FREEMAN; FRY 1851, 1860; GARRAWAY; GREENMAN 1860, 1861; HALL 1841, 1901; HUSSEY 1901; LEACY 1841, 1851, 1860; LOCK 1860, 1901; LUDLOW 1860, 1861, 1871, 1881, 1891, 1901; MANN 1901; MAYSEY 1860, 1861, 1871, 1881, 1891; MORGAN 1861; MUSTOE 1901; NORGROVE 1861; ORUM 1881; PALMER 1861; PARKER 1860; PARSONS 1860; PEGLAR 1860; PRICE 1861; RODWAY 1860; RUSSELL; SEALY 1860; SHORT 1860, 1861; SKATE 1860; SLADE 1881; STRANGE 1860; TANNER 1871; TOPPS 1860; TRINDER 1860; VANSTONE 1841; WALL 1841, 1860; WARN 1871; WEEKES 1860; WHITE 1851, 1871, 1901; WICKHAM 1860, 1861, 1871; WILLIAMS 1860; WOOD 1901.[not complete]Notable buildingsAngel InnCrown InnCatherine WheelQueens ArmsHorseshoeRoyal OakMarketKingsley House and workhouseDelburn House1248main route into town15949 houses recorded on NW side of the road[Hexham's Survey]1693date stone on carriage entranceway of The Crown with initials MV1790first workhouse was built by George Hopkins1934A daffordil bazaar held in the Tetbury Institute on behalf of the Methodist Church raised £55 for new heating and renovations of the former Primitive Methodist Chapel on Gumstool Hill which was to be used for special works of the Methodist Church.[Western Daily Press - Saturday 28 April 1934]1945Cirencester Methodist CircuitCHAPEL RECORDS - Tetbury (Long Street) [Wesleyan]Sale of disused Primitive Methodist chapel, Gumstool Hill[Gloucestershire Archives ref.

Cook's Pool Controversy
Mr David Lindsay, chairman of the Tetbury Upton Parish Council presided over a meeting of the Council at the Court room on Monday evening, when Mr W.H.Pride the owner of the land on which Cooks Pool is situated, attended at the invitation of the council, and a number of parishioners were also present. The chairman said the reason for calling the metting was to consider a letter received from Mr Pride's solicitors as to the right of parishioner to take water from the Pool. He then read the communication which stated that: You will recollect that in the summer of 1921 we had some correspondence with you upon the matter. In that year the pool ws pumped entirely dry and most of the water was taken away to fill up other pools in teh neighbourhood. The result was that other persons, by fetching the water had filled their ponds and Mr Pride was left without any water in his pool at all. Although the evidence in our possession is quite strong enough to enable Mr Pride to prove to any court that the public have no right to this water, he is not desirous of preventing private persons in Northfield taking this water by buckets fo their domestic use, but he will not allow the water to be carted away to fill up other ponds. Mr Pride informs us that without his permission certain person under the instructions of the Parish Council have trespassed upon his land and put an additional length on to the pump. Mr Pride proposes that unless this matter is settled at once by limiting the right to take water to persons in Northfield with buckets he will remove the length put on the pump without his permission.
The chairman said it was one of the public wells which in olden days belonged to the parish, and if it was public water he did not know how anyone could restrict the quantity to be taken by persons who had a right to it. The pump was put there for the convenience of the parishioners but Mr Pride held that it was not public water.
In reply to an inquiry the Chairman stated that the pool was known as Shepherd's Corner well, and was so described in the minutes of the Feoffees.
Mr Pride said the question out to be thrashed out and proved. He did not know the question was being discussed at the previous meeting, or he would have attended. He then produced his conveyance of the property, and said he thought the object of the meeting was to come to a friendly settlement, and to effect this the Council must prove the pool to be a public one, or admit it belonged to him
The Chairman then read an extract from the minutes of the Feoffees of about 100 years ago stating: "We direct the Town Clerks to give Mr John Cook notice to throw open the well in Back Lane called Shepherd's Corner well/"
Mr Pride said it was a query where Shepherd's Corner well or Cook's Pool had ever been claimed by the Court Leet juries.
Questioned by Mr Pride, Mr C Jones admitted he had recently seen the conveyance to Mr Pride and was then perfectly satisfied the pool belonged to him but that he had grounds for altering his mind and he stated at the previous meeting that the pool was open to the road and that the public had a right to the water.
A long discussion followed and it was agreed to consult the Feoffees upon the question in dispute.

Northfield Road
Northfield was a small estate of stone houses built after the arrival of the railway, c.1889. They were mostly semi-detached and linked London Road and Cirencester Road. The 1840's tithe map shows no property other than a single possible dwelling, The first series O.S. maps (surveyed 1881) shows this as a pair of joined houses/cottages and a structure across the road. The grounds of these had a well. A property closer to the Cirencester Road had been joined by four other buildings, one of which was on the corner and quite a substantial property (see 1919 below). The revised edition dated 1898-1901 shows a small development beginning at the other end of the road. The 1919 revision shows yet more development, fairly evenly distributed along the length of the road establishing the road was mainly developed during the late Victorian and early C20th.

TETBURY MAN'S RECORD - SIXTY YEARS WITH ONE FIRM
Mr James Williams of Silver Street yesterday celebrated a double event in the form of having reached his 74th birthday and also the 60th year of continuous employment in one firm. On his 14th birthday Mr Williams started a seven years' apprenticeship as a general smith in the workshops of Mr J.W.Gardner, agricultural engineer and ironmonger, and yesterday Mr Williams was using the same forge and the same bellows as were in use when he started work 60 years previously. The business passed some 22 years ago into the possession of Messers Munday and Fowler Ltd., his present employers. Mr Williams is recognised as the most skilled locksmith in the neighbourhood and he estimated that the number of keys he has made for all sorts of locks must amount to several thousands. He still enjoys comparatively good health and except for one period of six months in hospital through blood poisoning his long term of service has not been interrupted by serious illness or mishap.

West Street
Harper Street is one of the oldest streets in Tetbury. It is first mentioned before 1398 as Hatter Street. By the early C17th it was called Harper Street. Between 1917 and 1930 the name changed to West Street. This was at the request of one Harry Barnes, founder of the Tetbury Coal and Coke Company who bought a house on the corner of Bath Road and Harper Street [Source: great grandson by email Feb 2014].
In the late C16th houses were built at the entrance to the street. In the most recent edition of Pevsners Guides, the Buildings of England - the Cotswolds, by David Verey, West Street is described as "once packed with artisan housing". Most of this appears to have been demolished to make way for the carpark.
The Prince of Wales Inn, locally known as the Drum and Monkey, with its skittle alley, formed part of the continuous line of houses along the street. This Inn has now been redeveloped to make way for new housing.
Amongst the many reports of petty crimes, suicides, inquests on the residents of Harper Street the following are the more outstanding. Copies of these newspapers can be seen at either Cheltenham Local Studies Library or Gloucestershire Archives. Digital copies can also be seen through subscription website British Newspaper Archive.
