Located alongside the A48, decades ago the villas were near The Forest of Dean Central Railway (or Middle Forest Railway), built in the 1860s to serve the collieries in the heart of the Forest of Dean. It ran from Awre Junction to Blakeney Walk, serving mines and quarries, and corn mills in Blakeney. The line closed in 1949.
