More about this scene

Quay House on the right now has a window where J P Stewart had his sign proclaiming `Builder Decorator`. Other than that, this view of Quayside from the road bridge has changed little. Even the tall tree by the roadside is still there.

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

I lived at The Lilacs with my great-aunt Mrs Emma Griffiths from approximately 1936 until 1943 when the property was sold and I moved to London with my parents. I attended Brockweir School and later Coleford Grammar School. During the Second World War the bus ran twice a week and a big trip was to Chepstow on the train for the pictures. The Triangle was the local store and Mckenzie Hall the only place for activites. I have been back several times and it still looks pretty much the same.
1860, and before - where the Worgan family first came from.
