The Eagle Inn was situated on the eastern side of the Cheltenham Road (A46) about one mile to the south west of Painswick. Its lack of parking must have caused its demise. The Eagle Inn closed about 1966. It is now a private residence called Eagle Cottage.

I received a letter from Mrs Brown of Sherborne Street, Gloucester, who told me that she could remember sitting in the garden of the Eagle Inn on summer Sunday evenings with her parents and their friends. She thought that it was before 1939. She said that the landlord, Mr Hawketts, had a daughter called Joan who she made friends with.
