Aspects of Awre

A look at aspects of the history of the west Gloucestershire village of Awre, which lies, largely unspoilt and almost hidden, on a small piece of land between Blakeney and the River Severn. Within these pages you will find reminiscences of village life, family details, histories of some of the houses, details of some of the local industries such as fishing and cider making, village tales and humour, a look at the long-closed railway station and an account of the Foot and Mouth outbreak of 2001. Residents both past and present have contributed to this lively and entertaining book, which is illustrated with a good selection of photographs, both historic and more recent. But does it answer the question – is it 'Or' or is it 'R'?
