Innsworth – did you know?
- Interestingly, Innsworth was formerly best known for RAF Innsworth, the home of RAF Personnel and Training Command until 2008, when it moved to RAF High Wycombe.
- Notably, the village now contains Imjin Barracks, the home of the Allied Rapid Reaction Corps (ARRC), which moved from Germany in 2010.
- What’s more, many of the housing association homes in Innsworth were either prefabricated or rapidly built ‘no fines’ structures from the mid- to late-1940s, originally intended to last only two decades.
- Finally, all roads in the post-war housing development are named after birds, such as Bullfinch Way, Rookery Road and Swallow Crescent.
- Interestingly, the village was originally part of the parish of Longlevens, which was created in 1935 from the parishes of Wotton St. Mary Without, Barnwood, Hucclecote and Churchdown; it was renamed Innsworth in 1967.
- Notably, Innsworth is the largest community within the Gloucester and Cheltenham Green Belt, with a population of 2,468 at the 2011 census.
- What’s more, the village used to have a local pub called The Bullfinch, known locally as ‘The Bully’, which was closed in late 2004 and demolished in 2010/2011.
- Finally, the old sign for The Bullfinch pub can still be found at the top of Bullfinch Way and its junction with Innsworth Lane.
- Interestingly, Innsworth had its own Community Hall built on Rookery Road next to the Junior School after many years of campaigning.
- Notably, the village was historically split into two halves: the military housing side ending at Ward Avenue and Swallow Crescent, and the Thompson Way side separated again by Swallow Crescent.
