The New Inn was located on the west side of the road at the bottom of Kingshill Lane (known to locals as Gasworks Pitch), close to where the road bends right into Church Road and next to the junction of Everlands. The New Inn was also known, unofficially, as the Ramping Cat. The building is now a private house.
A nearby railway bridge carrying the Dursley branch line over the road had a clearance of just 10 feet 3 inches and was prone to flooding. The bridge, long since demolished, was known to locals as the Quag bridge.
