Ah! Slowhands - your findings intrigue me. Do you not sleep?

Perhaps 'THE GROVE' and 'GROVE FARM' off the Elton-Littledean Road shown on the geograph map you sent were the working farm and the homestead?. They seem to be at the right distance from Newnham. [What a find that catalogue was.]

What are the dotted lines on these maps?
Are they tracks or roads?

I must remember that farmers had to get their cattle to market by the shortest route.
As I must remember for my father in Queensland, grandfather in Queensland, g.grandfather in Victoria, gg.grandfather's brother in Flaxley, ggg.grandfather in Flaxley & possibly gggg.grandfather in Westbury - all farmers. It is mind boggling for this Aussie descendant.

Many thanks once again, Kath
