Last night, local amateur historian Ron Prewer dropped by to show us his collection of historical photo's of Cheltenham.Ron is a real enthusiast and, over the years has built up a huge collection of photo's showing the different parts of Cheltenham through the ages. We had about 15 people in and they all asked questions, made comments and even chipped in interesting little facts about the houses, buildings and streets Ron showed us.
Ron's pictorial tour took us through St Pauls and then South to Leckhampton, but it feels like we've only just begun, Ron is keen to come back to show us other parts of Cheltenham, we've pencilled in February 2nd 2011 for the next show!
If you'd like to find out more about Cheltenham's history, or even get some tips from Ron about researching your local area or family tree, please him an email to: RonPrewer@hotmail.com
