There is indeed information in the newspaper, the Dean Forest Mercury of the accident! The inquest records didn't survive and only the register page was there. The paper went into rather explicit detail, but it did tell me what I needed to know. No photograph as you said. They did say it was a terrible tragedy though and he got an entire column!

I made the trip to Lydney to see roughly where he would've worked, but was woefully unprepared and didn't go to Parkend.

I'm suddenly wanting to make the trip down there again. Scotland to the South West. I'd better do it before it gets really chilly!! :)
