Lydney - 1939-1945
My father, the late Cyril Cook, spent some time in Lydney, during the war, as a Nurse.
Unfortunately, I know very little about his time in Lydney.

Home Sweet Home
What a wonderful site. These photos bring back so many lovely memories.
From this one I can see the house I grew up in (34 High St) and my Dad's cinema.
This photo was taken the year that I was born. I can also see the hospital that I was born in. I miss Berkeley, it will always be home.
I now live in Western Canada and there are no towns here anywhere near as perfect as this one.
Hi to all who I know, if you still live there..I'm envious.

The Cordwainers Shop
My Great Grandfather, Samuel King, ran a boot and shoe business (as a Cordwainer) from this address in the 19th century. His family home is listed in the 1881 census as The Old House, Market Place, Berkeley.
His father John King (Dob 25.5.1765) was also a Cordwainer in Berkeley in the 18th century.
The King family were residents of Berkeley for many years, John King of Ham (Dob 23.9. 1730) is shown in my personal family records hand-written by Samuel King in 1835 as head of the King family. Thomas King is listed as having a Butchers shop in Berkeley in the late 19th century.
