 Many of the early houses were built along the Bristol Road (B4008); these date back to the 16th century and earlier.An example of one of these early buildings is the Little Thatch pub, which is a two-story house with a timber frame and thatched roof built upon an L-shaped plot.An area described as the "Quedgeley Green" or the "Great Green" around 1675 was a collection of fields on both sides of the Bristol Road (B4008), this became private land in 1841 and has since been developed and built upon, now just small playing field remains.
