Field No 66 on Thrupp Mill Estate.

In 1836 when the railway line was being surveyed, John Ferrabee was renting this field from Elizabeth Wathen. The field stretched with the much smaller plot No 67 down to the Thames and Severn Navigation, until the railway line was built in it. Edwin Budding would have walked this path many times when traveling from Thrupp Mill via Mincinhampton Common to Uley or Dursley.

  • Field No 66 in the parish of Rodborough, on the 1836 proposed railway line survey.
