Sallow Vallets Lodge (General)

I'm looking for information on Sallow Vallets Lodge somewhere in the East/west Dean area. It was a keepers lodge and I think it could have still been exsisting in 1994. Does anybody know its exact location and if it is still standing

Slow hand
Many thanks for the speedy response. I think you are probably right as the census for 1891 mentions Sallow Vallets, and Worrell Hill Colliery. I have some more queries which I shall be posting shortly

This is very interesting. The will of my ancestor Aaron Hale, yeoman and coal miner of Ruardean (d. 1727, pr. 1731) states that he owned a coal mining site named the Sally Vallet. It always struck me as a peculiar name.

If you look at the oldmaps website and type Worrall Hill, Gloucestershire in the place search box, you will find a lodge with a field behind it, to the right of the old colliery. The field borders the A4136 nowadays. This is Sallow Vallets Lodge and it is still very much lived in. The house has been extended in recent years.

You will probably also get a present day photo of it on this site.

Hope this is of interest, May
