Cleared for redevelopment
Some of Gloucester's students were so appalled by the old college site in Brunswick Road they were moved to riot. Having closed four years previously, the empty eyesore was comprehensively attacked by a mob and partly set alight. Now the site, possibly including the 1941 'Gloscat Tower', is being cleared for what is planned to be a housing development, with retail outlets, offices, restaurants and a surgery.

High arch
The Greyfriars established a religious building here in the thirteenth century, which was extensively rebuilt in about 1518. This was largely due to the financial support of the local Berkeley family; that latter also held Berkeley Castle, some 16 miles to the south.

Looking in at looking out
The old college is now long gone and the new housing buildings are close to topping off. The boardings provide a few holes to view the works, and the local students have given plenty of effort in decorating the greyness. The question is: what have the workers painted on the other side of the boardings that the viewers cannot see...
