In 2006 investigation revealed that the brook was suffering from increasing pollution from the Marle Hill landfill site (now a golf course).
The old (and former) Honeybourne Line, which runs along one edge of Wymans Brook, once passed by here but was taken up in the late 1970s, before the houses of the area were built.
If the track is followed from just behind the Prince of Wales stadium, which is at the other end of Wymans Brook, in the opposite direction to the racecourse, it runs along the bottom of the High Street and carries on past the Waitrose supermarket and on up to the Cheltenham Railway Station that is currently in use.
However the GWSR own a further mile of track (through Hunting Butts Tunnel) to only as far as the nearby Prince of Wales sports stadium close by, where a new station may be built and may form the terminus of the line.
The short section of trackbed further beyond is now owned by the council and completely surfaced to Cheltenham Spa railway station itself.
The pub stands separate from the other facilities, it was built in 1979 and was named "The Haymaker", possibly with reference to the fact that the estate was previously fields.
Wymans Brook is a very pleasant residential area and close to many facilities including Cheltenham Town Centre and a number of Retail Parks.
