(reply) Thankyou. Our Grandfather's brother who visited the house as a boy some years after World War 1, in his 1982 memoirs, described it as "having a gothic door arch and a garden stretching down to the river". I drove there today and the un-named house opposite the Ruardean road appears to fit that description. My sincere thanks.

(reply) Beech Grove, Bishopswood is on the road from the bottom of Lydbrook about 1 mile in the direction of Ross on Wye. I believe there is a Beech Grove House also a Beech Grove Cottage but it is many years since I worked in that area. I also have a feeling that Beech Grove House was a residential home for the elderly but that would have been in the 80's.

Does anyone know where that was?
