Road, Mrs. Mary Emily Pritchard (of No. 5 then) feeding chickens. Visible

are
a bit of No. 4, then No's. 5 to 13. This must be the 1920s. ".

Roger continued (May 2007): ".. left to right are my late mother, Mary
Pritchard, my great-grandmother Mary Emily Pritchard and my aunt Jennifer
Pritchard.
Photo mid 1930s, but no later than 1938, when E.M.P. passed away. She and
great-grandfather John Frederick Pritchard are buried in St. Mary's churchyard.
Watts' premises in top left hand corner, the centre wedge of houses now long
demolished and the lane, off to the right, my mother called The Patch.
Bottom:
A 1929 aerial view of Lydney.
The tree in front of which Mrs Pritchard was feeding the chickens is the
right hand of the two at the back of Watts' site, not the isolated one,
further to the right.The Watts buildings
can easily be identified.The corner house with the canopy far left
is still there - at the bottom of Bream Road.
