Rent Book
These are the first and last pages from the rent book for number 126 from 1930 to 1959. The book would have been started when Emma Wood (née Beddis) became the new landlady after the death of her father. Mrs James had been living in the house from, at least. 1911.
Sale of numbers 128, 130 & 132 by William Beddis to himself
William wanted to formalise the rights of way at the rear of the terrace for the tenants of the three houses he inherited. He did this by, essentially, selling the three houses to himself via a sub vendor and, in so doing, had the rights of way written into the deeds.

Cinderford from the Woods
Taken from where the iron works stood (not actually the 'woods') so probably early 1900s after the iron works had been demolished. St Johns church can be seen in the distance and the hipped roof building with the chimneys directly below it in the picture is/was the Victoria Hotel.
Cinderford Bridge
The terrace can just be made out in the top left of the picture. Date unknown but after 1898 as Valley Road exists.
