Thanks for steering me to another great web site.

My father, now in his eighties, believes my Great Uncle was based at Glascoed and would call at Parkend on the way to Ashchurch.

Incidently my father use to live at Fetter Hill, in a cottage once owned by Pace.

My father tells me that a murder took place there in the 1920's Mrs Pace poisoning her husband with sheep dip.

My Grandmother Emily Jones lived there until abt 1960, my father's half sister now lives in the property.

I believe the property was once used as the offices for Dark Hill iron foundry?

Regards

Tony
