Sounds like it is Little Drybrook and not Drybrook (General)
The Drybrook referred to is at grid reference 595073.
It was still called Drybrook on the half-inch Bartholomews Map of the Wye Valley dated 1951, but Little Drybrook on the Ordnance Survey 162 dated 1974 and subsequently.
Sopwith's map of the Forest of Dean of 1825 shows both Drybrook Folly Level and Bromley Hill Coal Works in the vicinity of Drybrook.
Cyril Hart's book The Industrial History of Dean refers to Drybrook Limestone Quarries, not to be confused with Drybrook Quarries Ltd now owned by Hanson Aggregates, which are in the Drybrook in East Dean.
