Census reads :-

Heywood

Lower High Street [Cinderford]

by deduction :-

Seven Stars, 130 High Street

If you go back to the Home page, then Photo Gallery, under Cindeford ( last page ?) you will find an old photo of the Seven Stars

At the bottom of the High Street, near Valley Road. The old Seven Stars is a large detached stone and brick building. A West Country Ales plaque has been removed leaving a tell-tale rectangle shape in the wall. A one- way street to the side of the property is called Seven Stars Lane. In days gone by it was probably a very pleasant pub in which to sup your pint of Alton Court Bitter from Ross on Wye.
