Dist:0.2km<br/>This was taken on an alleyway leading from 132 Abbotswood Road to Watermead. The cottages on the left include a lovely tudor half-timbered one for which I have submitted a separate photograph taken at a different time of the year.

Dist:0.4km<br/>This photograph was taken from the footpath that leads up Coopers Hill from fields east of Droyt Court Farm. The distant building include the hotel just north of Brockworth Cross Hands (where the A46 intersects with Ermine Way).

Dist:0.5km<br/>The footpath leads through Droy's Court. It is easily missed as it actually goes through the yard; there is a yellow footpath arrow attached to the barn further on.

Dist:0.5km<br/>This filling station is off the roundabout on the A46 road, by the Cross Hands pub. The roundabout, part of which can be seen here, is built on part of the site of the original pub, which was demolished in the late 1930's, to facilitate road widening.

Dist:0.6km<br/>Built in 1937 by the former Stroud Brewery Company, on land behind the former pub of the same name, which was required for road widening. The adjacent roundabout is on part of the original pub's site. That pub had existed from at least 1856, when the Landlord is recorded as Richard Organ. At that time it had its own brewhouse. Part of the roubndabout can be seen in this view:- [[2308251]]. Today, after various changes of ownership, it is one of the chain of pubs branded as a "Toby Pub & Carvery". It just about retains its original name, which can be seen on a board outside, but the strong emphasis is on the Toby branding. The Toby chain are owned by Mitchells & Butlers, and are food focussed. M & B used to be a well known Midlands brewery, but they have retreated from that, to concentrate on pub ownership, and their many brands, of which "Toby" is one. [[2308282]].

Dist:0.6km<br/>The Cross Hands, now a Toby Pub & Carvery, has been much extended. Most of it is in OS square SO 8916, but part, mainly that flanking Cirencester Road, is actually in SO 8915. [[2308269]].
