slowhands,

Many thanks for the information. I will get out the old OS map and follow up the location. In respect of Thomas Burdock running the mill. Apparently my
wife's gg grandfather ran it until his death in 1855 and his son Thomas junior ran it until his death. My wifes grandfater Thomas Burdock Jones 1859-1943 also worked at the mill for a period of time.

Kindest regards'

Waterloo Cornmill is in the Upper Lydbrook area ( away from the Viaduct in Lower Lydbrook)

Arthur and Edward Colliery also known as Waterloo was nearby.

A Thomas BURDOCK was the miller there from approx 1851 - 1906

My wife's ggg grandfather Thomas Burdock 1801-55 and gg grandfather James Jones 1834-1930 were both associated with Waterloo Corn Mill. Is this the same corn mill shown in one of the photographs of Lydbrook Viaduct or was it situated elsewhere? If it was elsewhere, where was it situated and are there any illustrations, photos or physical remains existing today?
Any information greatly appreciated.

Kindest regards,

Doug G.
