Thornbury Gleanings

A search for reports of Thornbury in newspapers over the last 300 years provides a fascinating insight into the triumphs, trials and tribulations of past inhabitants of Thornbury in Gloucestershire. This site presents transcripts of those items that caught my fancy, which I refer to as 'gleanings':

"the useful remnants of a crop that can be gathered from the field after harvesting"
[The New Collins Concise English Dictionary, 1988]
