Lost Tewkesbury a62_01814
St Marys Lane, Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire. A view from the south east showing a row of mediaeval, timber framed buildings on the north side of St Marys Lane.
These buildings may have originally been a row of houses, however by the 1880s at least the near end of this building was part of the St Marys Chemical Works where agricultural fertilizer was both imported and made. By 1901 it was in use as an agricultural engineering works for King s, who had a shop at number 9 High Street. Between the late 1920s and the 1960s the building was in use as a motor garage, as seen here. It was demolished in 1965 to provide additional car parking space for both the Royal Hop Pole Hotel and for the general public, uses in which the site continues in 2020

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a glimpse of the lost Tewkesbury, specifically St Marys Lane in Gloucestershire. The image showcases a row of remarkable medieval timber-framed buildings on the north side of the lane, evoking a sense of history and charm. Originally believed to be houses, these buildings underwent various transformations throughout the years. By the 1880s, at least one end of this structure became part of the St Marys Chemical Works, where agricultural fertilizer was imported and produced. In 1901, it transitioned into an agricultural engineering works for King's company, with their shop located at number 9 High Street. During its later years from the late 1920s until the 1960s, this building served as a motor garage - an emblematic symbol of road transport progress during that era. The presence of cars and vans parked outside adds to the urban atmosphere captured in this photograph. Sadly, in 1965, this historically rich structure met its demise when it was demolished to create additional car parking space for both the Royal Hop Pole Hotel and public use. However, even though physically gone from our present landscape in 2020, its legacy lives on through images like these that allow us to appreciate its architectural beauty and adaptability over time. This extraordinary print by Herbert Felton not only documents a specific moment in Tewkesbury's past but also serves as a reminder of how historical structures can evolve alongside societal needs while still leaving an indel
