| Gloucester Road is one of the old roads leading out of Painswick. | |
West side: 1, Chestnuts, 3 Marrans, 5 and 7 Glenmore were built about 1970. Painswick House, just off the map, was built in 1738. The Lodge at the entrance to Painswick House was built 1824. | East side: 2, 4, 6 and 8 Gloucester Road were built about 1930. At that time, they were known as "3, 4, 5, and 6 The Council Houses" and ten years or so later as "Sandrigo, 4, 5 and 6 Gloucester Road". They formed a small group of six Council houses - the first in Painswick. Two of these houses now have addresses in Canton Acre. In about 1950, they were renumbered to "1, 2, 3 and 4 Gloucester Road.
