OUR nostalgia pictures this week take a look at some of Stroud's prettiest villages over the years.

They also show Stroud Merrywalks before it became a multi-storey.

All of these glorious pictures were taken with permission from the Facebook group Stroud Area Photographs and Cotswolds Picture Postcards.

The beautiful Chalford and Amberley look a world away from today in the old photographs.

If you have any old photographs of Stroud or the surrounding district please email them to matthew.holmes@newsquest.co.uk
