Sheltered but not covered
The noticeboard has a roof but is otherwise open to the elements. The dog bin appears to have been attended to recently.

2009 : Stock Hill, entering Highbury
Up Stock Hill from Vobster then into Highbury.
Coal mining and limestone quarrying, the two main industries of the area, now all the coal mines are closed and most of the small quarries, still a bit of farming though.

They all gather to see you
A common occurrence when out in the fields - a herd of young cattle decide to investigate the traveller. That and keeping out of the sun.

Down the hill to Vobster.
Not much on the web about Highbury, plenty of businesses but short of information about the village. Vacancy exists for a good webmaster.

The Eagle Inn, Coleford
This pub has had to bear the brunt of the Covid problem and hence was closed for quite some time as staff were unavailable. It remains in a parlous financial state and there are worries it too will be lost - as was the Miners Arms opposite.
The building is nineteenth century with some unusual additions.
