The River Severn is in flood and is in danger of getting higher than the water level in the lock into Gloucester Docks Link

so defences have been erected! The Quay, normally visible on the right is submerged. On the other side of the road is Gloucester Gaol.

Tuffley Avenue, Gloucester

The house on the left is typical of many in this part of this mainly residential square. The building on the right replaced a house demolished when a 'plane crashed into it on the 27th March 1963. A twin engined Vickers Varsity aircraft crashed onto the house. The three elderly occupants survived unhurt apart from shock and scratches, however the house and the neighbouring property that the Drury family also owned were flooded with aviation fuel. The plane was on a training run from Staverton Airport and tragically the crew of two were killed. See:- Link

. From a personal perspective I remember cycling home from school nearby and seeing the area cordonned off and the remains of the fuselage embedded in the top half of the house.

St Michael's Gate, Gloucester

This was the entrance to the lay cemetery of St Peter's Abbey, with which Gloucester Cathedral was associated, and was also used by Pilgrims to the shrine of Edward II. Beatrix Potter's 'Tailor of Gloucester' "lived" in the shop visible on the left just before the gateway.

Gloucester Cathedral from King Edward's Gate

The modern iron gates here are on the site of the ancient gateway which gave access from the medieval main street of Gloucester to the precinct of St Peter's Abbey. The gateway derived its name from the fact that it was here that the abbot received the body of King Edward II for burial after the King's murder at Berkeley Castle in 1327.
