Following the interseting thread on the Message Board about the Gamage family who came to the Forest for a short time. Sheri has sent us a picture of the Crown Inn at Hawthorns together with a picture of her great-great grandparents Deodatus and Elizabeth Gamage.

Slowhands has kindly added to these a picture of 'The Hawthorns from Drybrook', which shows the area where the Gamage family stayed.

I see the post from the administator, but I don't find the pictures.

Try refreshing your "Browser" sometimes you need to force it to accept that the page has been updated :-)

Ian Thomas has sent us a picture of Lydney Cross which shows his Grandmother, Alice Ada Holford when she was a young girl.

Ian asks, "if anyone can name any of the other people in the picture?"

Picture added to the Latest Additions and Lydney sections.

Harold and Ann Watkins
This picture my Dad Harold has just found, he had tucked away in a draw and was nearly forgotten about. It is taken with his sister Ann in the late 1920s. Looking at the background it may possibly have been taken on Carnival Day at Ruardean.

Another Watkins photo but I have no connections with this Watkins family,
just happen to have the same surname.

Ann Suttie has sent us a recent picture of the Stockwell Green Inn to go with the one she previously sent us which was taken circa 1900. Well here we are 100 years on and the building is still standing firm.
