I was brought up in Newent from 1947 and maintained my contact until 2001. Although I remember High Street and Lewall Street I cannot recall any references to a New Street. Nevertheless it is there on the 1921 Ordnance Survey Map and located exactly as described in a previous post - opposite the old Rectory (later the Library and Council Offices) and beginning round about the junction of the main road with Watery Lane. I must have walked along it hundreds of times but never realised.
