This is a photograph of my Grandfather Henry Burns born 1872 at Berry Hill
http://www.forest-of-dean.net/gallery/berryhill/

I know I may be clutching at straws but I wondered if anyone can identify the
location. He lived in the vicinity until 1914 when he joined the 2nd Battalion
Monmouthshire Regiment and was posted to Belgium

The 1891 census shows him as a groom at Tanhouse Road, Newland, a boarder with
the Bowey family. He was only 18 at this time and he appears older on the
photograph

I would be very grateful to receive any suggestion
