Shared Memories of Gloucester
 Gloucester, the Oxbode 1949 (ref: G20017) |
Year: 1940s
War Time Memories
This is the department store Bon Marshe filmed from outside the post office, During the war, part of the store was taken over by the American forces and many a date was arranged, to meet under the clock on the far corner. I remember queueing most Saturdays outside to buy currant bread for a treat for Sunday tea, also nylons which were like gold dust. On the opposite side was the up market store Dentons.

The Oxbode
This is a fine picture of The Oxbode, with the Bon Marché on the right and the old Boots frontage in Northgate Street at the end. Barton Street it is not. Last edited: 10/6/2006 22:50 by Susan Sleeman |

 Gloucester, the Docks 1912 (ref: 65114) |
'sabrina'.
I am certain the steamer is 'Sabrina' built in 1870 and was the steam inspection launch of the Directors and Engineer of the Gloucester and Berkeley Ship Canal, Gloucester. In 1912 'Sabrina' was owned by the Dock Company and did not leave their service until 1942. 'Sabrina' is still in regular use now on the River Thames and still in steam.
