Photograph - Black and white, Percy Fairlam, c. 1910
Black and white image of Cheltenham in the early 20th Century depicts an almost idyllic life. This photo was taken by Percy Fairlam, who climbed a tall pine tree to achieve the aerial view. The tree was a well recognised feature of the Cheltenham skyline but was cut down some time before World War II.Cheltenham was established as a rural market gardening community. The development of the railway was crucial to the ongoing development of the area. Community life sprung up around the railway line which is evident in the proximity of shopping and leisure.Black and white image depicting aerial view down Charman Road, Cheltenham, including the unsealed road, level crossing and shopping centre. What appears to be a cricket pitch is located behind the shops.Handwritten in black ink on a red round sticker adhered to the reverse, and then crossed out: X14 Handwritten in blue ink on reverse: A8 Handwritten in red ink on reverse: 85%cheltenham, railway crossing, roads, housing, shopping strip -
