Stroud Then and Now

The Then and Now collection goes to more mundane locations.

Lansdown Road made ugly with cars

The Milepost at Cainscross has a green field behind it.

Not so pretty these days with the neck shorter by a few inches. And the ghastly backdrop of Tricorn House. What were they thinking in the 1970s? And late news in November 2009!!! The government has blocked the compulsory purchase of Tricorn House. Which elected numbskull blocked that? I'm pretty sure that it isn't anyone who has ever seen it because it needs to go as soon as possible.

Marling had an open air pool and it was steaming in the early morning chill. Rodborough can be glimpsed behind the row of trees.

The same scene thoroughly modernised and uglified.

Finally we get to Ebley Mill with a bleakly industrial black chimney

Nowadays much prettier and sporting a new flared chimney top. Although this view is very nice, the rest of the area still looks like a bomb site.
