Early Gloucester Memories From Mehums Meshaney Visit
Mehums Meshaney, era mining warden at Gapelmd, recalls Gloucester's early days. He describes scattered dwellings, the Strand, and homes of locals like Mr. Wiseman and Mr. Campbell, cricket matches, a 1887 flood marooning, and a shifting town with most lands emptied. He mentions Copeland mining, dwindling due to capital and transport limits, and a 1887 Queen Victoria jubilee telegram from Governor EB. Wallington.
