TAKE a trip back in time in our nostalgia section.

This week we have some beautiful photographs and a postcard from around the Stroud district.

The old Holloways clothing factory is one of the photographs. Edwardian Stroud was built on the wealth created by its industrious citizens and its amazing how diverse and cutting edge its surrounding innovative industries were.

From Abdella's ships to Hampton Cars from Holloway Clothing to Strachan's milled cloths.

Forest Green and Mill End in Eastington as well as glorious Painswick also feature in our pictures which are all taken with permission from the Facebook group Stroud Area Photographs and Cotswolds Picture Postcards.
