74 High Street

Take from the article Jean Green - My Tewkesbury Connections:

My Aunt Marjorie married George Chandler in 1985 and they lived at 74 High Street. George had come to Tewkesbury in 1946 to join his parents Harold and Elsie Chandler, who had also come to Tewkesbury from Croydon to escape the bombing there. They lived in Jessop House in Church Street and Back of Mount Pleasant.

In later years George and Marjorie renovated the former Blue Bird shop and also the property  next door. The properties needed a lot of renovation work. During the renovations they found an old shoe and two merchant’s books which appear to date from the seventeenth century.
