  • Cotswold Economy Study: Part 2 Volume
    5 Site proformas for existing employment sites Site ref Settlement Overall site area (ha) 1018 / EES30 Coln St Aldwyn 0.25 Site Address Site status: Cockrup Farm Protect Description of site/surrounding uses The Cockrup Farm business units are several small employment converted units, formerly used for agricultural purposes, similar to other developments in rural Cotswold areas. The units are situated within the immediate vicinity of the farmyard and are surrounded by open land. They provide a series of approximately five starter units offering a variety of accommodation from 1,600 – 4,300 sq. ft. There are a range of occupiers including CPM and Paperback Shop Warehouse. Environmental Quality / Constraints The external area is well maintained and has the characteristics of a high quality farmyard. There is good circulation and adequate parking. The site is flat and has all modern utilities on the site. There are no on-site environmental constraints or no contamination or other related issues. The surrounding environment consists of high quality open countryside, agricultural land and the village of Coln St Aldwyn. The amenity of adjacent occupiers is not an issue due to the rural location. However, the site is within the Cotswold AONB and a Conservation Area. Accessibility / Strategic Access The site suffers from poor access via a single track rural road, approximately 2.5 miles away from the A road network. The site is restricted by its isolated rural location and the lack of facilities for the workforce on site or within the village add to its unsustaibability. The nearest bus services are from Fairford (2.5 miles) away, which has services to Swindon and Lechlade (74), Kempsford (75) and Cricklade (76).

In Britain, as in their other provinces, the Romans constructed a comprehensive network of paved trunk roads (i.e. surfaced highways) during their nearly four centuries of occupation (43 - 410 AD). This article focuses on the ca. 2,000 mi (3,200 km) of Roman roads in Britain shown on the Ordnance Survey's Map of Roman Britain.[1] This contains the most accurate and up-to-date layout of certain and probable routes that is readily available to the general public. The pre-Roman Britons used mostly unpaved trackways for their communications, including very ancient ones running along elevated ridges of hills, such as the South Downs Way, now a public long-distance footpath.

    ROMAN ROADS IN BRITAIN c < t < r c ROMAN ROADS IN BRITAIN BY THE LATE THOMAS CODRINGTON M, INST.C. E., F. G S. fFITH LARGE CHART OF THE ROMAN ROADS AND SMALL MAPS IN THE TEXT REPRINT OF THIRD EDITION LONDON SOCIETY FOR PROMOTING CHRISTIAN KNOWLEDGE NEW YORK: THE MACMILLAN COMPANY 1919 . • r r 11 'X/^i-r * ' Ci First Edition^ 1903 Second Edition, Revised, 1905 Tliird Edition, Revised, 1918 (.Reprint), 19 „ ,, 19 PREFACE The following attempt to describe the Roman roads of Britain originated in observations made in all parts of the country as opportunities presented themselves to me from time to time. On turning to other sources of information, the curious fact appeared that for a century past the litera- ture of the subject has been widely influenced by the spurious Itinerary attributed to Richard of Cirencester. Though that was long ago shown to be a forgery, statements derived from it, and suppositions founded upon them, are continually repeated, casting suspicion sometimes unde- served on accounts which prove to be otherwise accurate. A wide publicity, and some semblance of authority, have been given to imaginary roads and stations by the new Ordnance maps. Those who early in the last century, under the influence of the new Itinerary, traced the Roman roads, unfortunately left but scanty accounts of the remains which came under their notice, many of which have since been destroyed or covered up in the making of modern roads; and with the evidence now available few Roman roads can be traced continuously. The gaps can often be filled with reasonable certainty, but more often the precise course is doubtful, and the entire course of some roads connecting known stations of the Itinerary of Antonine can only be guessed at.
