Gloucester buildings [16]
A new First County Lunatic Asylum Chapel (later Horton Road Hospital Chapel) was built in Horton Road in 1873. The chapel remained in use until the early 1980's when it was converted into offices. Now part of the Chapel House Care Centre.
The cathedral city and county town of Gloucestershire, Gloucester lies on the River Severn and is linked via the Gloucester and Sharpness Canal to the river’s estuary. Founded by the Romans in AD 97, the city gained its first charter in 1155. In the Middle Ages there were a large number of monastic establishments including St Peter's Abbey founded in 679 - later Gloucester Cathedral. Until the construction of the Severn Bridge in 1966, Gloucester was the lowest road bridging point on the River Severn. The city has a long association with the aerospace business, including the Gloster Aircraft Company.
