Peacock Lane, CINDERFORD, GL14 3EU

A narrow lane leading down to the route of a former railway line.

This is the B4226.

Towards the top or Northern end of Ruspidge road is a small local housing development called The Villa. Recently the frontage has been altered with a loss of part of the front gardens to make the pavement wider and vision for motorists better.

This Wesleyan Chapel in Ruspidge dates from 1869 but I think it has been converted into residential housing.

This former Wesleyan Chapel was built in 1869 but has within the last 5 years or so been converted to a private dwelling. It has a somewhat strange addition at the back that overlooks Cinderford brook and is now called Chapel House. It is within 50 metres or so of the Northern end of Railway road close to its junction with Speech House road.

This purpose-built hairdressing salon is very small, very friendly and very popular. It is located on the Western side of Ruspidge Road. This photo is facing the North.

The Bridge Inn stands on the corner of Saint White's road and Valley road at the very South Western corner of Cinderford. It has now closed as an Inn or public house. The alley-like gravelled lane to the right of the Inn was a tram road, sometimes called locally a Dram Road. The roof, it is of a type called 'hipped, signifies that it is an important building - the only other one nearby is that of the one-time Mine Manager which still stands on a little knoll to the North East of the Bridge Inn.

The Recreational field at Ruspidge is very popular with the local children. The blue structure is a waist high maze for the very young whilst for the more sedate there is a covered modernistic bench, with associated waste bin. I don't know the purpose of the orange cone on top of the red pole ... but I'm sure it is very important.

This is the South facing view of the junction of Saint White's road and Ruspidge road. Ruspidge road runs from this point due south to the 30-mile-an-hour exit-sign about a mile away.

Actually it is more of a milk delivery depot than a dairy. The small building with the 'up and over' door is where the milk is stored before being delivered to the doorsteps of customers. The dairy is located on the Eastern side of Ruspidge road.
