LOOKING back at Stroud and the surrounding district there is always something which sparks memories for readers.

The bustling scene in King Street in Stroud in the 1960s may bring back some memories as will the old picture of the Swan Hotel at Bibury.

The picture of The Cross in Stroud is perhaps too old for anyone to remember but it evokes a time of trade years ago.

All of these images are taken with permission from the Facebook group Stroud Area Photographs and Cotswold Picture Postcards which is a great archive of Stroud and the surrounding district.
