Hi, I recently managed a short trip to Coleford , I managed to get quite a few photos of My family's home in the 1880's &90's at Lords Hill and quite a few pubs too ( my husbands family !) I was wondering if there's anyone that knows Coleford could they be able to tell me whereabouts of 'the Butchers Arms' may have been , Milson Harris landlord and butcher in the 1830's on . Also would 'the Feathers' have been 'The Plume of Feathers' originally ? same family.
Also I found Poolway , but would anyone know if there is an 'Ivy Cottage' on a hill ! My 2xgreatgrandfather was killed by a runaway brewery drey while sitting outside the cottage on 26th June 1913. He was 93 years old and in good health . I'm hoping to make another trip to the area this summer and somemore photos would be the icing in the cake !
Thanks a lot rheola
