The recognisable shop over the years has had patches in Gloucester, Cheltenham, Cirencester, Tewkesbury and Bristol.
As times and business have changed, Woody's has stayed true to itself and its values.

Called the Tibblestone the gnarled and rounded old rock is naturally pierced here and there, as ancient standing stones of this kind sometimes are. The purpose it served is open to debate.

Other tall stones were used to identify burial places, or were the remains of long barrows.
Yet another function was to mark a boundary and this is most widely believed to be the function of the Tibblestone, which stands at the edge of what was once called Tibblestone Hundred.
