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.

Robins Wood Hill Spring Cross
The spring provided water to the city of Gloucester for more than 400 years. in the reign of Edward 3rd, it became the subject of a dispute between the Grey Friars and St Peters Abbey, concerning the quantity of water the former was to receive, which was settled by the King in 1350.
Tuffley Junction
A DMU from Gloucester Eastgate approaches Tuffley Junction on the former Midland Railway line. This line was plagued with level crossings and was eventually closed and lifted in the 1970s when all traffic was diverted into Gloucester Central. The line on the right, today's main line, is the former Great Western Main line from Gloucester South Junction. The course of line can be seen on the OS maps by examining the fence lines behind the buildings on Stroud Road.
