Podsmead

Podsmead

Podsmead is a district of Gloucester approximately one mile from the historic city centre. With the development of Quedgeley and Kingsway, Podsmead is becoming absorbed by the city. It is close to the hamlet of Hempsted.

History

Podsmead was largely built during the 20th century. The larger, grander houses similar to those in parts of Tuffley were built in the interwar period whilst immediately after World War Two an estate of temporary homes and social housing was built. Some of the temporary housing is still in use today.

In 1943 the Crypt School moved to its present home in Podsmead.
