| 14 |  | HOLLEY (nee HALFORD), Emily - National Registration Card The Local Government Board was established by the Local Government Board Act 1871 with primary responsibility for supervision of local government services. During and following the First World War the board was required to fulfil special functions, and they were discharged both through its existing departments and by newly-formed ones. One of the latter was that it had general responsibility for the system of national registration for wartime purposes introduced by the National Registration Act 1915. A certificate of registration was issued to everyone on the Register setting out their personal details. Although not called an identity card, that in effect is what it was. An amendment to the act in 1918 required the production of a certificate on demand to a police officer or other authorised person. The registration requirement was withdrawn at the end of the First World War. | |

| 38 | | Tetbury Today This collage of four photographs, shows West Street (previously Harper Street) as it is today (2006). Top Left: A view of West Street looking west. On the right hand side of the street (opposite the parked cars), many of the old cottages have been demolished to make room for a car park. The cottages that now stand just beyond the car park (on the right) were built in the early 1990's on the site of the Prince of Wales Inn, known locally as the "Drum and Monkey". Top Right: Still looking west, this view, further along West Street is of some of the original cottages of "Harper Street". Bottom Left: This photograph is looking east towards the town centre. On the left, are the relatively new cottages that replaced the Prince of Wales Inn, with the new car park beyond that. In the centre, the spire of the parish church of St Mary the Virgin can clearly be seen. Bottom Right: From it's junction with "Harper Street" this view, looking west is of Cotton's Lane. | |
