Forest of Dean FHT Forum - Cottage, Newnham 1871 Census https://forum.forest-of-dean.net/ Connecting Forest of Dean Researchers World-Wide en Cottage, Newnham 1871 Census (reply) Thank you for the reply, I have tried to narrow your OS Maps co-ordinates and have arrived at the left hand end of Station Road, Newnham on the South East side of the railway line, the side closest to town.
On Google Maps (N51 48 28 W02 27 10), it looks like a yard or depot now and no surviving heritage building today.
