The High Street, Commercial Street or Triangle would be a good bet for the shop.

I have postcards of several shops in the early 1900's - Wilces', several have been published in local history books.

Thomas Willstead was born about 1876.

In 1891 he is a miner living with his uncle George a Miner and Preacher in Woodside Road Cinderford.

In 1901 he is a Foreman, probably at a Colliery lodging in Belle Vue Rd. Cinderford.

In 1901 Kellys Directory has him as a Shop keeper in Cinderford
