Ely Court is a development of flats on the site of the former "Wroughton" public house which was previously the Whitbread, and before that West Country Brewery, Stroud, public house "The Ely". The name is pronounced "EELIGH" not as the Cambridgeshire city and referred to a famous racehorse trained in the village in the 1830s and 40s. The flats used the paddocks behind the pub, whilst the pub building itself is substantially the same as it was but converted to accommodation. The Public Bar was on the right and the lounge on the left. My local in the late 60s and 70s.
