Up and at it, Public House (General)
hello all
i am currently researching my wifes family history and would be grateful for any information on the following public house in the forest of dean
her great grandfathers was born in 1877 in the forest of dean in a public house called the up and at it. but so far we have drawn a blank on this. i have recently found out there was a strip mine called the strip and at it and thought this may be connected in some way
i would be grateful for any clues on this however small
thank you paul

Paul
where were the family in 1881 - it might us help discover this building
PS
Strip-and-at-it was near Serridge Green
"Strip and at it" is/was also the name of a Freeminer ale, brewed in the Forest..
As-you-Like-it was a mine near Parkend
and "Addet" or "Adit" is a mine shaft... as in "Upper Adit" mine, part of the Lady's Slad complex at Cannop / Wimberry - which sounds like "Up'n at it"
