Gloucester 12

Early in 2011, the residents of Gloucester were asked to vote for their favourite historic buildings and locations. With more than 500 listed buildings and numerous well-loved locations dotted around the city, the response was broad and varied, but after sifting through the mountains of correspondence and listing to many stories about Gloucester and what it means to people, a number of much-loved heritage sites, buildings and features stood out as clear favourites.

1. Gloucester Cathedral
2. The New Inn

A set of 12 postcards and a companion booklet featuring stunning new photography and the history behind these locations has been released and are available to buy in the Gloucester Tourist Information Centre on Southgate Street.

The images have been carefully selected to bring out the detail of these iconic buildings and hidden gems.  The postcards can be sent to a friend or loved one, or framed to take pride of place on your wall. They are collected in their own special presentation case and would make a perfect gift for those familiar or new to the city.
