Peter Essex wrote (Oct 2009): "... This looks like the forge between the last houses in Forest Road and the power station at Norchard. My recollection is that you could (even if you shouldn't) come from the right from Forest Road as you look at this picture, and clamber across at the railings shown, then get over the railway and continue upwards along an unmade track to Bream Road".
Kevin Fieldhouse added (December 2009): "This was one of two old things between Forest Road and Bream Road by way of an old track (pathway). While at Lydney Boys Secondary School when I was age eleven right up to leaving at fifteen in 1968, we went on nature walks down the old track from Bream Road to Forest Road. The other old thing was a ruined cottage and overgrown garden".
Ray Brown added (March 2010): "...The correct name for this is 'The Middle Forge' and the old track referred to was always known as Forge Lane".
