Description
Built on steep slopes at the junction of five valleys, this busy market town has
retained considerable character despite the industrialisation in the late 18th
and 19th centuries. At the height of its prosperity there were at least 150 cloth
mills in the valleys centred upon Stroud. Many light industries have replaced
most of these, and Stroud and its surrounding area continues to thrive, and is a centre for artists and crafts people. |
