Typical land adverts

Of most interest in the early Gloucester Journal (and other local newspapers that are held at Gloucestershire Archives) are the local adverts. This is a typical advert for property to be let. These adverts usually contain a wealth of local information, not just about the property to be let, but the details of process. The first advert here is for Up Hatherley Great Field (roughly where Morrisons supermarket is in Cheltenham) and it gives precise details of how and where interested parties could bid. As such it provides the names of the current tenant and the solicitors. This can be vital information for researchers today because at this time, there were few trade directories.
