Hucclecote is a suburb in Gloucestershire, United Kingdom, comprising a ward (population 8,826)[1] in the City of Gloucester.
[2][3] It is located on the periphery of the city, between Barnwood and Brockworth, along Ermin Way, an old Roman road connecting Gloucester with Cirencester and the Cotswolds.
[6] Hucclecote was a small village until development began prior to the outbreak of World War II in 1939.
Due to redistricting, the airfield from which the world's first jet fighter, the Gloster Meteor,[7] took off for test flights is now within the boundary of Hucclecote.
[8] The nearby Gloucester Business Park currently has a Tesco Supermarket, a Premier Inn, and many office buildings, with restaurants and other retail facilities currently being added.
[13] Hucclecote has many locally owned shops and two pubs; The Royal Oak and The Wagon & Horses, both operated by national chains.
