Stroud - As Planned in 1945

It is interesting to see the extent to which development has or had not taken place in Stroud. Tbe only area of development not (yet) undertaken is Rodborough Fields. The map also shows a proposed road through what is now Tesco's and at the time was Stratford Mills.
The plan does not show the canal and shows a proposed route for the Cirencester Road - along what appears to be the bed of the canal! When the County Council came to build a bypass their solution was not to fill in the canal but to build an inner ring road which would have demolished some of Stroud's historic buildings.
