Wycliffe Terrace, Bath Road, STROUD, GL6 0QW

This is the building in the background with what appears to be an asbestos cement roof. This unprepossessing, rendered L-shaped building with an attached small north-light shed has a long history. The site dates back to at least 1559 when Gigg Mill was granted to a local clothier. In 1786 the mill was being operated as both a grist and fulling mill with separate tenants. In 1850 the sale notice listed two waterwheels, two pairs of stocks (fulling stocks), gig, drums etc. In 1856 it was making flock and shoddy (waste textile products) and in 1862 the roof was destroyed by fire. In the early 20th century it was a fellmongers dealing with animal carcasses. It is now used in engineering and part of the site has a display of textile machinery demonstrated by the Stroudwater Textile Trust. In the foreground is a Severn Trent pumping station.

The Town Hall is on the left.

The town is relatively isolated in its niche in the Cotswolds. The hilly terrain hereabouts made it relatively difficult to reach. There is more on the history of Nailsworth on its unofficial website http://www.nailsworth.com/
