Hi Sonia. If there's room for error in the surname of the photographer, you might be interested to know that in the book "A glance back at Lydney" (Black Dwarf Publications, ISBN 0 9533028 1 4)there's a photo on page 2 which was taken in Lydney High Street around 1910. It includes a man in a straw boater. The notes to the photo say that "the man in the straw boater appears in a number of old Forest postcards and may well be the photographer, one Will Phillips of Gloucester." This could connect with your initial "W" although you had the surname "Green", and although Phillips was of Gloucester he obviously spent a fair amount of time in the Forest area.
