    Gloucestershire Ramblers Area Highways England A417 Missing Link Public Consultation Response 0. Introduction November 2019 gloucestershireramblers.org.uk/A417 [email protected] Ramblers have been campaigning here for around 20 years for through traffic to be removed from local roads (preferably with a tunnel) to make them walkable and crossable again. The landscape would stay the same. The aims can be summarised as - Keep the Cotswold Way and Gloucestershire Way on their Authors’ line - Ensure safe footpath crossings - Retain the landmark Air Balloon Inn – a meeting place for walkers The current proposals - Divert the Cotswold Way and Gloucestershire Way - Extinguish footpath crossings - Demolish the Air Balloon. Ramblers’ Charitable Aims Defend footpaths, protect places we like to walk, improve access, let the public know what we do. In March 2018 Ramblers rejected both options 12 and 30 but offered to work with Highways England to ‘green up’ Option 30. Simplified or Greened Up Option 30 was evolved which - deletes the direct link road to Birdlip (none of the tunnel options have a link road) - keeps the roof on the tunnel as it passes below the Air Balloon car park - uses green flanked bridges where possible along the route for gain in biodiversity interconnect At no stage has taking the road below the Air Balloon site (using relatively low cost tunnelling methods such as at Hindhead) been considered as part of the consultation. In January 2019 Ramblers became concerned about the direction of proposals for the scheme & agreed that landscaping funds should be used to ‘green up’ the new road in preference to the current one.

  • The Malthouse, Woodmancote, Dursley
    Reprinted from: Gloucestershire Society for Industrial Archaeology Journal for 2007 pages 37-40 THE MALTHOUSE, WOODMANCOTE, DURSLEY Amber Patrick Introduction This malthouse was neither visible from the road, nor was it recognisable as such when seen from the garden of the house. I visited the malthouse on two occasions in June and August 1988, and undertook a small amount of recording and measured survey work. This short report is the result of that work. The site and its history Woodmancote is the A4135 road running south from Dursley. The malthouse is located behind the house on the eastern side of Woodmancote (ST 7588 9788). The house is one of a distinguished row of Georgian houses, and of an 18th century date. The house itself gives no indication that there was ever any industrial activity in its back garden. The malthouse runs back, and therefore eastwards from the house, being almost literally an extension of the kitchen. It is a typical burgage plot maltings (Fig. 1). Relatively little is known of its malting history, although the owners at the time of my visit had undertaken some research into the history of the house. The main evidence for the building’s malting history comes from early trades directories. Pigot’s for 1822-3 records three maltsters in Woodmancote: a Mrs Millard, a William Robinson and a James Taylor. By the time of Pigot’s 1830 directory only William Robinson is listed as a maltster in Woodmancote. Later directories do not record any maltster in the road but that does not necessarily mean that malting had ceased.

Her funeral was held on 6th August and there is to be a Memorial Tribute to her on 2nd October at the Art Workers Guild in London. Felicity has been the authority on her parents’ lives for many years now and her Obituary in the Independent described her as ‘probably the last close link with the inner circle of extraordinary creative talents fostered or inspired by William Morris’ … her death ‘marks its [the Arts & Crafts movement] formal and final passing’. This first issue of Volume Number VI is a bumper issue full of connections. John Taplin, Andrew Davenport and Tim Clough (Editor of Rutland Local History & Record Society), after their initial queries to the Archive Room, all sent articles on their researches; the pieces on Maye Bruce and Thomas Phillipps are connected with new publications; there is an ‘earthy’ connection between with the Plough, Rutland and Bruce researches and the Phillipps and Whitfield articles both have Shakespeare connections.

  • John Corbett Way (6¾ - 7¼ Miles Linear Walk)
    Walk H - John Corbett Way (6¾ - 7¼ miles linear walk) Probably more than anyone else, the "Salt King" changed the character and landscape of both Stoke and Droitwich. The John Corbett Way starts at Avoncroft Arts Centre (close to his matrimonial home at Stoke Grange), goes past Stoke Prior Church where he is buried, through Stoke Works where his fortune was made, on to Wychbold with its Almshouses, then alongside his magnificent Chateau Impney and finally into Droitwich. Most of the farmland was owned by him. Whilst the walk can be done in the day, breaking it into sections makes it easier to describe. Keep a lookout along the Way for the signs of the Raven, his trademark. Parking is available at the start of the walk and in Shaw Lane (points 5, 6 & 8). The Navigation, Ewe & Lamb and The Crown will probably allow walkers to park but please check. Parking at the end of the walk in the public car park outside Waitrose (point 16). Note: large parties must make prior arrangements with Avoncroft Arts Centre if using their car park (tel. 01527 833829, e-mail: [email protected] ). SECTION 1 Stoke Heath / Avoncroft Arts Centre - Stoke Works Easy no stiles. Reasonable footwear. About 2 miles. 1. Avoncroft Arts Centre. From the Avoncroft Arts Centre car park, return down the driveway to the A38 and turn left almost on yourself through the gate onto the enclosed path. Cross the driveway leading to Stoke Grange (Corbett's matrimonial home, now occupied by Bromsgrove School). Previously, it had many interesting associations as Avoncroft with the Cadbury family, adult education and farming improvements.
