A history of the ferries of Gloucestershire
A history of the water crossings of Gloucestershire from the Aust-Beachley ferry to the smaller river ferries such as at Tewkesbury. It tells the story of the county's ferries through the past 1,000 years, from a time before bridges onwards. Joan Tucker takes us on a fascinating exploration of the history of the county's ferries, identifying isolated backwaters and popular tourist spots that once provided an essential transport link in this beautiful part of the world.
