Thanks Slowhands

Yes this is a fantastic site.so much to find !

I was just wondering, How would I find out the correct name of the dwelling,as you say the victorians liked to name their properties rather than number.
Did the post office have a list of dwellings (ie Directory) for the year 1911?
Only I cannot transcribe the house in Woodside Street.
In 1881 all the dwellings were numbered !!!!!

It says Lab . . . . . . y House ,Woodside Street Cinderford

Also does anybody know of the local colliery near to this area

The photo on this site is fantastic so thanks slowhands for this ,It puts how our ancestors lived.
