I might now have solved this mystery. I have found, quite by chance, that there is still a Coakley's fish shop in Swansea and that the Coakley family has had fish shops there for a very long time. It is therefore likely that the photograph is not from the Forest of Dean but from Swansea as those featured in it moved from Coleford to Swansea.I am sending a copy of it to the current Coakley fish shop owners to see if they recognise it and if they verify it is in Swansea the mystery will have been solved! I was travelling through Mumbles on a flying visit and happened to spot the name on a fish shop!
