Former textile mills that were later used by Redlers to manufacture conveyors. The part visible here is a single storey brick extension from 1910. The stone building and brick tower behind are on parts of the site that has been converted to accommodation.

Dudbridge Road bridge and lock
This length of the Stroudwater Canal was converted into a flood relief channel in 1956 and the locks here at Dudbridge road had their gates removed and weirs installed. This is the lower, or Franklin's Lock (named after the builder) and forms a single structure with Dudbridge Road bridge. The lock chamber is generally in good condition and the main restoration work will be the provision of new gates and paddles, along with additional bypass culverts to maintain the flood flow capability.

Dudbridge Mills, Stroud - commemorative plaque
This extension in red brick with a north light roof was opened in 1910. The mill was originally used in textile manufacture but was latterly used by Redler to manufacture conveyors. I think this section might have been disused when I took this view.

Dudbridge Mills, Stroud
Former textile mills that were later used by Redlers to manufacture conveyors. The part visible here is, I think, in multiple occupancy. Part of the site has been converted to housing and is behind automatic gates that restrict the available views.
