Speech House Road

The Speech House (about a mile to the right of this picture) was a seat of local government, where Free Foresters made speeches to present their opinions to their administrators. You would struggle to get there by train after 1929, when all passenger services North of Lydney were withdrawn, although freight services survived here until 1963. View looks North on 31 March 2013, along what is now a very popular cycle trail.
