Thanks to Mrs Margaret Baldwin who helped with the names and also added - (May 2006) :"This photo brought back so many lovely memories of Cinderford. However, the photo was not taken during the period 1939-45. Mrs. Dunlop (Dr. Dunlop's wife) did not arrive in Cinderford until 1951 at the earliest. Mrs. Dunlop became a good friend of my Mother and visited us frequently. During the war period we lived at 66 High Street and moved to Denecroft in 1948 and it is there in the early 50's that Mrs. Dunlop came to see us."
Mrs. Grace Pateman was the wife of Mr. Pateman, the Chemist next to Bonsors Fruit and Veg.shop near the Triangle. Mrs.Harriet (Hattie) Moseley was the Bank Manager's wife (I cannot remember which Bank). Mrs. L.M. Jones was the wife of Mr. Olaus Jones, Senior French Master at East Dean Grammar School.

Thanks also to Linda Weatherley (nee Baker) who added (June 2007):."Mrs Jones was a french teacher at East Dean Grammar School & The Royal Forest Of Dean Grammar School".

Thanks to Mrs Maraget Baldwin, who added (December 2007): " Mrs. L.M. Jones did not teach at EDGS. The only other teacher, other than Mrs.Jones' husband, Mr. O. Jones, was Miss Bird-Jones who taught me and many others. Miss Bird-Jones taught the first and second years and Mr. Jones taught the older children. Mrs. L.M. Jones, to my knowledge, didn't teach at all. She was very active on the social scene, ie. WRVS, W.I. etc. My Mother knew her very well".
