Crikey S, that was quick, I searched the forum and your reply was there, seems like your break has definitely left you refreshed ! :-)

Here's the photo, thought to be circa 1910.

I cannot find any Burgham shopkeepers in the 1902 or 1914 Cinderford Trade Directories.

The shop is opposite the old Royal Union Hotel, so moreorless where the C&G Building Society (iirc) is now.
This Hotel and an excellent Burgam Family website is discussed in this prior thread which is hopefully of interest.

Searching out the current 108 High Street suggests to me the numbering system has been changed since 1910, as 108 is now an eatery that doesnt fit in my recollection of the High Street, sadly my sister who works nearby is holidaying so I cannot ask her. For as long as I recall Lloyds Bank, just up from the photographed shop, is number 25 High Street, C&G physically & numerically a few numbers down.

Tony, do you have any further information on your grandfather's whereabouts in Cinderford ?

I noticed when searching the Forum earlier a strong Burgham prescence in Redbrook, so a little way from Cinderford.
