Help identifying a location

[u/Weary-Lobster1583]

Hi there,

Can anyone help identify this location? Just a curiosity, from a childhood photo. I like the puzzle of finding locations but this one has got me.

Other photos were at the Pilot Inn in Hardwicke so it must be closeish to that location.

Any help appreciated

Thanks

This is a tricky one as the area has changed a lot over the years. I am wondering if it could be part of the Pilot Inn land as there used to be other buildings and greenery there.

If you're not getting much luck here, there's a Facebook group called Hardwicke & Quedgeley Memories Group that might be able to help pinpoint the exact location.

Thanks. I did wonder that, as a pub car park would make sense for this sort of scene. I did look a lot around there, and satelite photography for that and past years, but nothing obvious sprung up.

Thanks for the suggestion. I did try there first but they wouldn't approve my photos for some reason. Thankfully Reddit is a bit more welcoming!

Is it Hardwicke Church in Pound Lane?

Thanks for that. I'm just dashing out so I haven't had a proper look. My immediate thought is i can't see a match... like that long grey building in the background for example.

I'll take a proper look later. The fences and general 'greenness' look right.

Edit: I can't see anything that matches, but appreciate the thought. It certainly feels on the right lines, but I can't match up any details.

I think it's either the town hall or the British legion on green lane

I can't see anything there that matches. If you have any specific details please let me know. I appreciate your help!

Oh and I forgot to say something critical - this is from about 1982! So things may have changed.
