This year has been an exceptionally difficult one for businesses in the Stroud district and across the world.
We've dipped into the archives to find a couple of photos of businesses in pre-Covid times.
The photo above is of the Cainscross and Ebley Co-operative Store. The Cainscross and Ebley Co-operative Society was established in 1863, with the original building established a few years later.
RHP (Hoffmans) Factory in Stonehouse opened in 1938
