Healings Mill, Tewkesbury The riverside flour mills of Tewkesbury were mentioned in the Domesday Book and referred to as the town mills as far back as the 13th century. Milling continued until closure in 2006 and now there are plans to turn the historic Grade II-Listed buildings, named after their 19th century owner, in to a modern destination for the town. Apartments, cafes, restaurants and shops could all be housed within the historic Back of Avon buildings, transforming the waterside area of the town. Perrybrook housing development, Brockworth Land sandwiched between the A417 and Brockworth was identified as being a prime site for development in the Joint Core Strategy.
Where once there were fields, soon there will be 1,500 homes, care housing, 2,500 square metres of shops and restaurants. Add in a 22,000 square metre business park and the huge expansion of Brockworth over the past 20 or so years will be complete.
