Have noticed there's Mopla Cottages in this area in Coleford Rd. Wondering if this is the Maple Cottages I'm looking for. The names are so similar.

This might help with the general area , although I suspect your cottages are no more.
NP16 7BU is in the right sort of area if you are using GPS to get here

Thanks so much. I'm visiting the area soon and find the places a bit confusing as it seems Tidenham is made up of several hamlets.

Judging by the 1851 Census route - Maple Cottages are down in what is today Tutshill / Bishton near Powder House Farm and Tutshill School and St Lukes Church - & Wirewoods House / Manor

Powder House Farm standing east of the road between Tutshill and Woodcroft was one of the farm-houses on the Tidenham manor estate in 1769 (fn. 56) and was a stone house with a thatched roof in 1813. (fn. 57) At least one cottage had been built on the common east of the road at Woodcroft by 1712, (fn. 58) and by 1815 there was a small settlement of six or seven cottages there. (fn. 59)

From: 'Tidenham including Lancaut: Introduction', A History of the County of Gloucester: Volume 10: Westbury and Whitstone Hundreds (1972), pp. 50-62. URL: http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=15757 Date accessed: 02 July 2010.

Club Cottages are also near here in the 1891 - in fact next to the School in Tutshill

number of male and female friendly societies were started in the parish in the 1830s and 1840s, (fn. 30) and there was a social club and institute at Tutshill by 1889

( I'll do some more work)

I'm trying to find out where Club Cottage and Maple Cottages Tidenham were and if they are still there. Can anyone help please? I've looked on maps and googled but haven't found anything.
Thanks
