Dvorak Mar 2018 9:10pm, 3 Mar 2018 15,613 posts	0 Dvorak Gloucester town centre, especially around the bus station. Rarely has a place made such a dismal first impression on me. I thought that the place must have been destroyed by bombs. Unfortunately, I have no pictures available. (Gloucester did suffer quite a bit of bomb damage, but this was not the reason for the town centre). In fairness, the cathedral is quite extraordinary.
