The Spring Inn was the nearest public house to Carpenter’s Cainscross Brewery but sold beer from the rival Stroud Brewery Company. The Spring Inn was valued at £600 in 1920. The licence of the Spring Inn was objected to by the Licensing Justices held at Whitminster Court Brewster Sessions on 6th February 1930 on the grounds of redundancy.
The property is now residential and called Spring House. It is partly hidden by a large hedge and a bus stop is in front.
