The Salt Store at Brimscombe Port. Salt was a valuable commodity and was shipped here, down the River Severn from Droitwich. (In Stroud, salt was used to fix dyes). Notice how the stone building has barred windows on the ground floor and just slits on the first floor. The doors on the first floor would have been used for loading into the warehouse.

The entrance to Brimscombe Port in early 2012. The land and buildings are still servicing a range of different businesses, but all could change soon, when restoration work begins.

Brimscombe Port and the Mill are still signposted, even though there is presently no water at the port! A more recent Cotswold Canals sign points out the line of the original canal.

East Wharf Cottages at the back of the Port were probably lived in by workers at the port. Today they are on a quiet track between the port and the River Frome.
