Description

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.
