Looking for picture of the Beeches Walk, Drybrook (General)
I'm looking for a copy of a photograph that my grandmother had. It was a post card size picture of the Beeches Walk, Drybrook, taken around 1900-1920, when it really was a walk between large beech trees.
Has anyone a copy that could be downloaded?
Thanks, Brian
Looking for picture of the Beeches Walk, Drybrook
I have just spent many hours going through the F of D website and came across this request. The Beeches Walk is situated between the top of the Stenders Road, (between Drybrook and Mitcheldean) and goes through to the Wilderness which is situated near the top of the Plump Hill, also near Mitcheldean. As a young lad in the 1950's and 60's it was a wonderful place to play as kids. Unfortunately the Forestry Commission in the 1970's decided to fill most of it in with those bleeding awful conifers. The Beech trees are getting very old and decaying and the wonderful grass beneath the trees is gradually getting covered with brambles. Go and have a look before it all goes
