Information

The original Wilkes’ Alley was one of Tewkesbury’s most populous. It was unusual in having houses on both sides. They were all demolished to create a supermarket on the High Street and a block of flats on Back of Avon. The alley was diverted across the concrete parking are a which was created to another alley, of unknown name, which runs along the neighbouring burgage plot.

The Wilkes family ran an ironmongers business in the front house right through the nineteenth century. One of the few surviving buildings is their store and workshop, now a dry cleaners.
