Euroclydon / Drybrook Railway (General)
Uncle Tom relates that in 1874 his father (Deodatus)was in the constrution business and had taken on a contract relating to the railroad. He mentions a link from the Mitcheldean Road Station to Cinderford and into Gloucestershire.
He says his mother operated the Inn while the family lived there and that father's draft horses pastured in nearby fields. Tom says his father bought these properties -- but who can be sure?
Bottom line on this part of the story is that about eighty of the draft horses died and the project went "belly-up" and the family went to London.
