May Brace added (June 2006): "Frank White lived in Cinderford. I worked with him at Lightmoor when the Forestry Commission's engineering depot was based there, I was in the office doing wages, switchboard, typing etc. I think he worked with Charlie Read (also from Cinderford) in the Stores . They both moved on to the new depot at Mile End as I did, when Lightmoor depot closed at Christmas 1964. I hope this will jog someones memory as to the exact location for the photograph".
Thanks also to Martin Stephens and Ron Beard who added some
names
(June 2006) and
that it looks like agroup of people that lived around 'Cinderford
Bridge'.
Cinderford Bridge is the name given to the area around the junction of Valley
Road and St White's Road and extending along Railway Road (the old tramway).
Enid Turley, the Hales and Violet Jackson lived in the houses at the bottom of
St White's Road. The Whites and Will Beddis lived along Railway Road. The occasion
looks to have been in the early 60s by the apparent ages of the people.
