- Lydney in 1961. Video made from old 8 mm cine film.
Shot by the late Mervin Dunn in the early 1960's. Courtesy of Dave Dunn:
"The cine film is not of good quality and has been copied to VHS and then to a computer but it is interesting material.
This video shows part of Newerne St. from the bottom of Highfield Hill to the level crossing on Hill St. I remember the Royal Albert Inn was the first building on the right on the corner and was once partially demolished by a runaway lorry. Its easy to see how this happened. I well remember Powell's grocery shop and post office because I delivered groceries from there on a bike. Mr Powell, his wife and 3 sons worked there. Next to it was Weston's paper shop where I also worked as a paper boy. This was taken over by Mr. Gunn around 1960. Bernard Weston has a sports shop next to it. Further on you can see Bradley's men's outfitters shop on the corner with Forest road. Arthur Vaughan was the main man there. Lydney Library was above it for some time. On the other corner long gone is the Rifleman's Arms and then Lydney Picture house without the canopy over the entrance. There have been many changes since".
