Hi MPG,
good stuff, all very interesting. A complete guess for now but I wonder if their nailmaking trade was suffering due, perhaps, to cheeper mass-produced nails being available from elsewehere ?.

More to follow later..

Littledean area was "centre" of nail making industry - Iron , wood for charcoal etc ideal for forges.

but yes the scale of the industrial revolution did for the local industry...
