Gloucester New Yard
The machines looking like something out of "The War of the Worlds" are involved a major railway track renewal scheme
Gloucester Tramway Junction
Looking across Tramway Junction and the site of the GWR loco sheds, with Gloucester station just on the left.
Trigpoint, Robinswood Hill, Gloucestershire
This is the trigpoint at the top of Robinswood Hill, Gloucester and Cheltenham are visible in the distance. The beacon was used during the Golden Jubilee.
The Crypt School, Gloucester.
The school was founded in 1539 at the Church of St Mary de Crypt in the centre of Gloucester (see SO8318 : The Old Crypt School Room). The school moved to these premises in 1944 as the Crypt Grammar School, and today has a special status in Science. See:- Link
On the day the photograph was taken a bring and buy sale was in full swing on the playing fields. In the distance the clump of trees on the top of May Hill can be seen.

St Barnabas's Church, Gloucester
By the roundabout at the junction of Stroud Road and Cole Avenue.
Tredworth Cemetery, Gloucester
The chapel in this large cemetery near the old Gloucester bypass.
Tuffley Avenue, Gloucester
The house on the left is typical of many in this part of this mainly residential square. The building on the right replaced a house demolished when a 'plane crashed into it on the 27th March 1963. A twin engined Vickers Varsity aircraft crashed onto the house. The three elderly occupants survived unhurt apart from shock and scratches, however the house and the neighbouring property that the Drury family also owned were flooded with aviation fuel. The plane was on a training run from Staverton Airport and tragically the crew of two were killed. See:- Link and Link .
From a personal perspective I remember cycling home from school nearby and seeing the area cordonned off and the remains of the fuselage embedded in the top half of the house.

Barton Street Baths, Gloucester
The red brick building is the entrance to the original Victorian Public Baths. These were replaced in the 1960s by a new and much extended public swimming pool complex just beyond. This in turn was massively rebuilt to provide a more modern leisure complex, seen on the left, less than 30 years later.
Barton Street, Gloucester
Looking east with the India House pub at the point at which Barton street makes a slight "S" bend through this multi-cultural area of the city.
Barton Street, Gloucester
The traffic lights mark the junction with Derby Road and the view is looking west along the old Roman east-west axis through the city.
Derby Road, Gloucester
Looking north with the old technical school on the right. The bridge in the distance carries the new eastern spine road whilst beyond can be seen the raised barriers of Horton Road (a.k.a.Tramway) Crossing.
Tuffley Junction
This used to be four tracks. The right hand two line were the former GWR main line to Paddington, whilst the left hand pair were the ex-LMS main line to Bristol. Whilst the two routes ran parallel south from here to Standish Junction, there was no connection between them at this point. The LMS line curved left beyond the bridge in the distance along the now abandoned route into Gloucester Eastgate Station. Just beyond the point at which the bank on the left finishes a single track branch from Hempsted and the Gas Works converged with the LMS lines. The tracks were reduced to the current two in the 1960s and the route to Eastgate closed in the 1970s.
St Paul's, Stroud Road
This church is situated at the junction of Park End Road and Stroud Road.
Painswick Road Crossing
This view, looking east from Stroud Road at the junction with Tredworth Road show the site of the level crossing with former Midland Railway line through Gloucester. This line was plagued with a succession of level crossings and was eventually closed in the 1970s. All that can be seen today is the slight rise in the road (just the right of the further "diversion" sign) and the former railway cottage (the white building to the right of the picture). Compare with SO8317 : Painswick Road Crossing and SO8317 : Painswick Road Crossing gates.
Sneedham's Green
Sneedham's Green is common land with sheep grazing. These sheep have no fences or animal grids to enclose them. Apparently the flock has learned where it is allowed to go.
Curlew Road Gloucester
The houses in this part of town all face onto the wrong road, the address being the vehicle access at the back, very confusing for visitors and deliverymen.
