Anyone who has an interest in the history of this part of the Cotswolds and the adjacent vale will find much to fascinate them within this book. Among its wide-ranging articles you will learn how Bishop's Cleeve and Woodmancote got their names, how the railway came to Broadway twice, how a Cheltenham boy became Australia's national poet, how trams came to Cleeve Hill, how Guiting Power became the centre of an amazing stone industry and how tobacco growing became important in Winchcombe. There are also descriptions of a medieval feast in Prestbury, a royal visit to Sudeley, the early history of Cheltenham races and the impact of the First World War on the area. The book is profusely illustrated with archive and modern illustrations. David Aldred is well known as the author and editor of books and articles on many aspects of the history of North Gloucestershire and the Cotswolds. He also lectures extensively on topics of local history and has a special interest in landscape history.
