On the hillside to the north-east, known as Cinderford Tump, the White Hart inn had opened by 1834 (fn. 41) and, to the west, a school was built by Edward Protheroe in 1840 and the church of St. John the Evangelist was opened in 1844. (fn. 42) At the ironworks, which stood 800 m. north of Cinderford bridge, cottages were built at the bottom of the later Victoria Street to the south-east.
