More about this scene
The little hamlet of Brockweir, straggling along the floor of the Wye Valley and with a utilitarian bridge spanning the river itself, lies on the county border with Gwent. The three-storey gabled Manor House dates from the 16th century and faces onto the bridge.

Sparked a Memory for you?
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.
