Properties on Tewkesbury High Street
Image: © Philip Halling Taken: 2 Mar 2013
A mix of frontages on properties on Tewkesbury High Street. The property on the right with the jetty and half-timbered first floor is not uncommon in Tewkesbury. The buildings either side appear Georgian, however it is very likely they have a later facade and behind the brick frontage is the original timber-framed structure. The tell-tale feature are the windows, Georgian windows normally are three panes across by four down. The low roof of the original building lack sufficient height to enable enough space for a full Georgian window. Another indication of the older original structure is that the brick front goes above the bottom of the tiled roof, this is particularly noticeable on the building on the right.
