Newent, Gloucestershire, Church Street, circa 1910. It is interesting to note that the building on the left looks older now in the modern Google Street View than it did a hundred years ago. The Bull Inn on the right has gone but the George Hotel further down the street is still there. Postcard by Young and Co. of Teddington. Click the postcard to enlarge.
