The Berkeley Vale Inn was situated on
the A38. This pub closed in September 2002 and has now been converted to
residential use. This was an imposing double-fronted roadside inn with an
extensive yard and outbuildings accessed up the left side. The yard served
as the car park in later years, but being about half way between Bristol and
Gloucester it was probably once a posting inn with stables among those
outbuildings.
I had lunch in there sometimes in the 1990s when I was working in the area.
The bar area was large, quiet at lunchtime, and had an old-fashioned air.
Prominent on one wall was a presentation photo of HMS Berkeley, a Hunt class
Minesweeper. |
