Saintbridge is a small suburb located in the county of Gloucestershire, England. Situated on the eastern outskirts of the city of Gloucester, it is bordered by the River Severn to the east and Hucclecote to the north. The area is primarily residential, with a mix of housing types including detached, semi-detached, and terraced houses.

Originally a rural area, Saintbridge underwent significant development in the mid-20th century, leading to the construction of numerous housing estates. This expansion was accompanied by the establishment of several amenities and services, such as schools, shops, and a community center, making it a self-sufficient neighborhood.

One notable feature of Saintbridge is its proximity to the picturesque Saintbridge Pond, a small body of water that attracts wildlife and serves as a focal point for leisure activities. The pond is surrounded by green spaces, providing residents with opportunities for walks, picnics, and relaxation.

Transportation links in Saintbridge are well-developed, with several bus routes connecting the area to the city center and nearby towns. The suburb also benefits from easy access to major road networks, including the A40 and M5 motorway.

While Saintbridge may be considered a quiet residential area, its location offers residents the advantage of being close to Gloucester's amenities and attractions. Additionally, the beautiful countryside surrounding the suburb provides opportunities for outdoor activities such as hiking, cycling, and exploring the nearby Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

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.

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.

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 <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/302764">SO8317 : Painswick Road Crossing</a>  and <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/302769">SO8317 : Painswick Road Crossing gates</a>.
