TEWKESBURY

SO83SE MILL BANK 859-1/2/292 (South East side) Raised pavement to front of Nos.1-9

GV II

Raised pavement with steps. Blue brick and brick paviors, sandstone. C19, but possibly replacing earlier version. Brick paving full width of frontages and approx 1.5m width to a brick on edge coping, beyond this asphalted area to retaining wall in blue brick to maximum 10 courses height with concrete coping. At left hand end a set of 4 concrete steps, then further left, and opposite alley to Nos.11, 12 and 13 Mill Bank (qv) 2 stone and one brick steps with a small section of stonework to heavy sandstone coping, probably representative of the earlier paving here. Opposite No.6 (Pump Cottage; qv) is a boxed-in C19 cast-iron handpump. Early C20 photographs show that there was a 2-storey pump house on this spot, reputed to have become a lived-in cottage by that time. The pavement continues to Mill Street (qv), and the houses were set at a higher level than the road here to raise them above the normal flood level; the water rarely rises above this level.
