Former brewery, Mitcheldean I was very surprised to find this unexpectedly while passing through. Initially owned by the Wintle family this brewery became the largest in the Forest of Dean in the 19th century. It was acquired by Cheltenham and Hereford Breweries in 1930. After 1930 it housed the wartime base of British Acoustic Films, later Rank Precision Industries. By 1960 manufacture of Rank Xerox photocopiers led to rapid expansion but decline followed in the 1980s-1990s. The site is now a large business village with these two buildings from the original brewery on the edge of a complex with multiple large buildings.

Wayside Cross, Longhope In the churchyard, sitting on top of an inspection cover. This is probably the base of a wayside cross once located at SO 69207 18642 in front of what was, in the 1880s, the Plough Inn (long gone). 

There are more details in the Heritage Gateway site, but the data dates from 1970 when the cross may have been opposite the medieval site.
