Old Photos of the area

Thanks very much Fred !
I've seen a lot of similar websites but rarely do they include such high resolution hence highly detailed scans as this site does, and permit us to save to our own pc if desired. As you say the views of Yat railway station (once I remembered to look under Herefordshire!), or the ferry & viaduct at Lower Lydbrook, and the lovely one of Lydney Cross with the local children, all in crisp detail.
I just wish I was a member of the Sherratt family from Newent; there's a beautifull shot of young Evelyn and Sarah Sherratt delivering milk in 1912 from their horsedrawn milk "float".

Many thanks again for sharing this site.
