Why is Gloucester pronounced Gloster?
The ‘Glou’ is very recognisable as the modern word ‘Glow’, which is a Welsh (ancient British celtic language) word. Gloucester was the ‘glowing – or shining – castle’, and should properly be pronounced in modern English as Glow-cester. Years of rapid speech and local dialect has simplified this to Glo’ster.
