Clapham was a district of the City of Gloucester that was developed from 1822 by George Worrall Counsel who built several hundred houses for artisans.[1][2][3][4] It included Worrall Street and Counsel Street, neither of which now exist.[5] The area was redeveloped in the twentieth century and is now part of Kingsholm.[6]
