Furnace a residence? (General)
Hi Aheritage,
My Grandparents lived in Valley Rd, Cinderford back in the 1950's.
During my time playing in the area, we were told about the Furnaces cottages, constructed for use by the workers of Cinderford Iron Works.
If you can get hold of the railway book "The Forest of Dean Branch" Vol 1
ISBN 1 874103 05 4 (Wild Swan Publications. 1-3 Hagborne Rd, Didcot, Oxon).
This book on pages 187 - 195 has a history of the Cinderford Ironworks, maps and photos of the iron works and cottages which I am sure are the said Furnaces cottages.
I could scan a copy of the picture but the book is copyrighted, perhaps admin can verify if a scan is ok to do or not.
Regards
Forester
