Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Former tramroad Plaque on the left pillar gives the following information:

'The Gloucester and Cheltenham Tramroad (1811 - 1861).

Through this gateway, the nine mile long tramroad entered the docks. Wagons carrying goods and minerals were pulled by horses along cast-iron rails having a gauge of 3ft.6in. (1.1m) It was the first railway in the county authorised by Act of Parliament. The steam locomotive Royal William was tried in 1831 or 1832 but its weight broke the rails.'
