LOOKING back over the years at how Stroud has changed is fascinating.
These wonderful images are taken from the Facebook group Stroud Area Pictures and Cotswold Picture Postcards and are reproduced here with the group's kind permission.
Do you remember the old Kites Nest Pub which was formerly the Fleece pub - the venue for many a raucous disco or wedding.
Chalford is as pretty as it ever has been with the glorious Roundhouse and Christ Church.
