THAT SINKING FEELING? The sink hole phenomenon seems to have reached Tewkesbury, as the ground has opened up mysteriously in one of the town’s historic alleyways. The hole, which measures approximately nine feet deep by six feet wide, was discovered in Clark's Alley last month - and the cause remains a mystery. Theories discussed on the internet suggest that it could be an old well which had been covered over. But the walls of the hole seem to consist largely of soil, descending to an alluvial bed of sand and gravel at the bottom. There is no apparent brick or stonework that you would expect to find in a man-made well. At the time of writing the cause remains a mystery. Should the reason be found we will report it in next month’s magazine.
Clark’s Alley and the sink hole
Ancient Malthouse to be restored The first stage of renovation work has started on a property in East Street which includes a sixteenth century Malthouse. Stage one involves the creation of a small dwelling in an out building that forms the gateway to the Malthouse yard. The restoration of the Malthouse itself will be in History revealed: The Malthouse phase two. The two storey building still has the asphalt drying floors intact and is another of Tewkesbury's survivors from times gone by.
