At the junction of Anchor Road and Church Street. Coleford is nowhere near the sea but presumably Anchor Road is named after the Anchor Inn further up the way.

2009 : Cross Ways Fish Bar, Highbury
Or should that be Coleford?
It isn't really a cross ways either, more of a T junction. At least one inhabitant seem a little puzzled. If the fish and chips taste as good as they smelled, who cares?

Coleford Gospel Hall
The village had held some meetings in various places before a worshipper, Harry Beer, drove a horse and cart to Devizes to purchase an old army hut. The corrugated hut became the first hall for the community by 1920. Later meetings were also held under canvas as the needs outgrew. Today this spacious modern hall welcomes all.

The Legion scroll
Coleford Royal British Legion hall has this stone plaque on the front that records the fallen of both world wars. It seems such an obvious place to have a war memorial, yet not many do. See

A post box remains
The village post office was here up until quite recently, but the premises are now a piano shop. However, the postbox and a notice board remain on site.
