Oldcroft is a small village situated between Yorkley and Viney Hill, north-east of Lydney.
The 1891 Gloucestershire licensing book has no mention of the Loyal Forester, suggesting that it closed soon after the 1861 reference.
The building is now a private house.

Map Reference: SO649060

On the north-west side, at a place known as the Tuft of Beeches, (fn. 92) a public house called the Loyal Forester closed before 1893.

George Jones grocer in Yorkley

Hi
I have just found my gx3 grandparents on the 1861 census and it shows them running a grocers shop in Yorkley. I just wondered if anyone knew where abouts in Yorkley this was. I hope it had a lot of accommodation as there were 8 children and 2 lodgers.
I hope someone can help.
Thanks
Rosemarie
