Proposed road from Tewkesbury to Cheltenham. 1825.
| A meeting was held at the Plough Hotel, Cheltenham, on Tuesday, for the purpose of considering the propriety of
forming a new road from Tewkesbury to Cheltenham. The proposition first made was for an entire new line, to branch
out of the Church-street, just below the Crescent, at Tewkesbury, and to proceed in a straight direction through Tredington, Stoke-Orchard, and
Swindon, to that part of the town of Cheltenham on which Pitville is intended to be erected; but this being strenuously opposed, particulary by the Trustees of the Tewkesbury and Cheltenham districts, and another line being submitted, branching out of the present road at Gubshill, about a mile from Tewkesbury, and entering Cheltenham near the turnpike, at the bottom of High-street, the latter line was thought the most desirable by the great majority. |
