On the Road from Evesham (and these days from the M5)

The town centre of Tewkesbury is to the left, housing developments of the 1960s can be seen in this picture, with Newtown in the foreground and Mitton beyond. The River Avon can be seen flowing from right to left and the River Severn is to the top left. Mythe Water Treatment Works can also be seen beside the River Severn, this is the treatment plant which had to be closed for a few days in July 2007 when it became flooded, leaving much of Gloucestershire without water.

Dist:0.3km<br/>Mitton Manor was surrounded by fields until the early 1960s when the Mitton housing estate was built on adjoining land. Mitton is now in Gloucestershire, however, before the housing estate was built it was in Worcestershire with the Carrant Brook forming the county boundary.
