Church Street

This stunning view of the town, as seen from the very top of the tower of Tewkesbury Abbey, was taken in 1936 as part of the publicity for the appeal to raise funds for the restoration of the tower. The man on the ladder is is Jack Day, one of the builders who played a major part in the work. Sadly, a few years later Mr Day was working on a lower scaffold when he fell and lost his life. the white building in the distance is the Sabrina cinema, just bult that year._{- Cliff Burd}
