The Golden Fleece was situated just above the Prince Albert Inn on the road to Rodborough Common. The Old Golden Fleece is on the right just after Inglenook Cottage and opposite a cottage called Gilmar). It is an 18th Century Grade II listed Cotswold stone house.
The owner in 1891 was James Tynte Agg-Gardner, presumably of the Cheltenham Original Brewery. Twelve years later the ownership had transferred to the Nailsworth Brewery. This was short lived as Cheltenham Ales were again available at the Golden Fleece after the Nailsworth Brewery was amalgamated in 1908.
