Micheal Stephens wrote (August 2009): "The shop on the left at one time was Cinderford Coop grocery shop and in 1968 I worked for the Coop there for a short while. It was one of 3 grocery stores the Coop had in Cinderford at the time".
Thanks also to Ian Thomas who added (August 2009): "The Swan Hotel in Cinderford was decorated to celebrate the Coronation of Edward VII during 1902. The lady with the little girl in the foreground I believe to be Mrs Runnicles, the wife of the Cinderford photographer who took the picture. She appears in quite a number of his pictures".
