Hi Chris,
if you've not already found it this prior thread discusses nailmaking and has some interesting links etc.

If you are in the Gloucestershire area, particularly the FoD, the public Librairies hold many copies of The New Regard. I think this link will work for the current catalogue search page. Volume 15 is available at Lydney, Cinderford and Gloster.

I may well be wrong but I think Averil is, or was, active within the FoD Local History Society ?; it may be worth asking them via their webpage(see Mike's post) to try and find a copy of her book. She has had other books published by Lightmoor/Black Dwarf press, I'm sure they'll be able to help too, contact them here

If you're not aware, these publishers are from the Dean and have extensive experience and knowledge of the industrial history of the area, and are very nice people too !
Their books and many others can be obtained from the excellent Forest Bookshop in Coleford, as can back issues of The New Regard.

Good luck !
