The New Inn was located on the north-eastern corner of the junction of the High Street and Trinity Street. (directly opposite the Britannia on the western side of the High Street).
The New Inn was probably Godsell & Sons of Stroud most northerly tied house. When the Stroud Brewery Company acquired their rivals Godsell’s in 1928 it seems that the New Inn was no longer operating as a public house. The last tenant, William Booth, purchased the property for a sum of £250 and ran a green grocers shop until World War II. It later became a Coffee Tavern. The building was purchased by property developers c.1970.
