Cheltenham buildings [93]
Cheltenham buildings [93]
Seen here from Imperial Gardens is The Quadrangle, a nasty, 1970s office building which should never have been given planning permission. A full restoration of the building has just been completed without any visible improvement.
Cheltenham is located at the foot of the Cotswold scarp with the small River Chelt flowing through the town. After the discovery of mineral springs in 1716 Cheltenham became a spa town and many Regency houses and other buildings were erected. The town is home to the renowned Cheltenham Festival, four days of horse jump racing culminating in the Gold Cup, held annually in March at the nearby racecourse.
