This 1897 finger-post combined with a drinking fountain was installed in celebration of the Queen's Jubilee. This view is from the 1960s and is looking in the direction of Claypits.

The only change is that there has been an attempt to landscape the roundabout and the road furniture is uglier.

The Stonehouse direction shows this quiet scene with an Austin 1100 parked outside the Co-Op. The south facing shop window has an awning that could have been used for shade.

Modern shop design dictates that windows must be obscured. One window is full of graphics and the other has been completely filled in with cement. Natural daylight must be replaced by ranks of fluorescent light. A satellite dish is attached and a number of black pipes carry heat from the chiller units to the outside. All the delivery trolleys and bread containers stand in an untidy collection outside. Bollards in front of the shop stop cars from driving right up to the door. The fingerpost has had the Frocester finger replaced and the design appears to match the other finger exactly.
