Woodchester village

Looking directly west from the edge of Minchinhampton Common. The lower large field to the right is adjacent to the famous Woodchester Orpheus mosaic, part of possibly the biggest and most opulent Roman Villa in the UK. A replica of the mosaic is on display nearby at Prinknash Abbey. Villa May have been home to the governing family of this important area, with Cirencester only 14 miles away and Bath 27 miles.

Selsley Common from Rodborough

Taken from somewhat undulating Gastrells School playing fields looking due west. This ridge is very popular with paragliders, hang-gliders, gliders and model gliders, can get a bit busy up there!

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.

St Laurence Church

Stroud parish church, St Laurence through the early morning mist shortly before 9am. The foreground wall is alongside Landsdown road and past that is Bank Gardens.

Dudbridge Cycle Track

The railway line ran between Dudbridge and Stroud and is viewed from the Dudbridge End. Nowadays it's the best made bit of cycle track in Stroud, it's a pity the access is by a flight of stairs. The road bridge carries traffic between Dudbridge Hill and Dudbridge.

River Frome in Stroud

Bend in the River Frome showing the remains of an old water mill. It's in the shadow of a railway viaduct, and just over the road from Waitrose.

High Street, Stroud

Stroud's main shopping street, situated on a steep hill. Taken at 6pm on a Saturday, after the shops have shut.

Stroud viaduct

Part of the viaduct that carries Brunel's Golden Valley line into Stroud. Since it was built the land around it has been built up; the road itself (the A46 bypass) was built since WW2, and the multi-storey car park on the right looks very recent. This means that the viaduct now seems to squeeze between the houses, and bits of it crop up in various different views.
