Clive Carter

Black Dwarf Publications

Black and white pictorial history of Lydney, once the principle outlet for much of the Dean Forest's industrial product. This booklet presents a selection of photographs, each informatively captioned, showing the last 130 years of the town's existence, providing an introduction to those unfamiliar with the town's background and a reminder to its natives of the way things used to be. Describes the town's ancient roots and covers the Severn & Wye Railway and the growth in the 19th century because of the iron industry. 40 pages. Scarce.

Neil Parkhouse

Born in 1925, Ruth moved as a child to Pastors Hill House, in Bream. Her father was a farmer and Ruth was expected to do her share of the work. She says: "Ruth Proctor Hirst was an outstanding, indefatigable, local historian to whom the people of Newquay owe a great debt."
