Not a memory but an historical fact. I have traced my family back to Leigh circa 1750. The patriarch was Anthony Fowler, a carpenter from Bishops Cleeve.

Barnwood stands on Ermin Street, which was built by the Romans to link the two important towns of Glevum (Gloucester) and Corinium (Cirencester), so the road we see in this picture has been in use for 2,000 years. The two pairs of houses nearest the camera on the left were demolished in 1964 when the dual carriageway was built.
