Good morning Slowhands

Afraid you got this one all wrong. Most of Redbrook is in Newland Parish. The English / Welsh boundary cuts of a small portion - Boundary is the Red Brook and centre of R Wye. This link might help you www.newlandparishcouncil.gov.uk. St Saviors was built C 1875 to replace a previous small chapel and school house - my wife and i were married there - 30th October 1965. There was never a Tin Mine here but there were some Tinplate Works the largest of which closed down in 1961. I know this site intimately because I bought it in C 1981/2 (for more info see my other posts)

Good luck
