Nailsworth, Ice Skating


All these photographs were kindly sent in by Betty Mills, author of a very good book entitled 'A Portrait of Nailsworth' and are thought to be taken pre war. The photographs show how people used to go ice skating on the mill ponds in the area during the winter. Betty can be contacted by clicking this link.
