Mike,

That is brilliant - thank you so much. We actually looked around that area and deduced that there was an orchard immediately behind the fire station which we thought would be in the vicinity of the cider works. I've looked at the BNA page and the details all seem to fit.

Alfred Kingsford was my partner's great-great grandfather and we visited Chepstow to try to find traces of his family. Not only was he an auctioneer/estate agent, he was organist and choirmaster of the parish church, a freemason, non-alcoholic cider maker and an activist in bringing back Chepstow Castle to the ownership of the town. A splendid chap by all accounts.

Thank you again - it really is appreciated.

Larry
