Thrupp (Glos) Tin Church The grid reference is a bit of a guess as the modern map shows no church and the Geograph 1940s map is unclear but this spot appears to have a church symbol! Not long for this world it seems.

Brimscombe Mill This is the highest I have ever seen the Frome. The bench on the left should be on an island between the millrace and the weir, but is now in the middle of the river! The ground floor of the mill was flooded.

Chalford Bottom Looking west along the weed clogged line of the Thames and Severn Canal.  This was during the early days of the canal restoration, and slow but steady progress has been made since.  Recently a lottery grant has been awarded for the restoration of a significant length of the adjoining Stroudwater Canal further down the valley.

Thames and Severn Canal at Brimscombe This is a very short watered section of the canal, which is either filled in or drained on either side. The building on the right is a former mill which I think is being converted into housing.

Brimscombe village shops The small village of Brimscombe boasts a post office, general store, chippie and antique shop, all clustered together in this row of houses. It looks as if the main road used to go past their doors and was subsequently straightened out.

New housing estate, Bussage This large estate can only have been built in the last few years: it straddles the edges of two Landranger maps, and is marked on sheet 163 but not on the latest edition of 162. This street is called The Old Common.
