Lydney Cross with the bank building in the background

Row 2 (Back): 1,2,3 Jim Nelmes, 4.
Row 1 (Front): 1, 2, 3 E Beeley (Lydney Grammar School, headmaster), 4 William Frank Essex, 5, 6, 7.

Peter wrote (July 2009): "... William Frank Essex was a member of Lydney Rural District Council, although I do not have his dates of service in that capacity.   This photo could probably be dated anywhere between approx 1946 and 1960 although from the clothing and the apparent age of William Frank Essex perhaps earlier rather than later in that period". 

Thanks also to H J Warren who added (Aug 2009): "... Jim Nelmes (was) landlord of the 'Cross Keys' Lydney".
