STROAT – Gloucestershire – Forest of Dean

.

Hi,

my thanks to G.K. Davis who has, and does, host the pictures, which are attributed to him, on his web site @ SunGreen.co.UK and to those who provided them to him.

I would much appreciate any other photographs of the school, or if you can help provide any missing names.

I am also currently looking for ANY old photographs of Stroat, or the people who have lived here, over the years – with details of which houses they lived in etc. Right up to the present time.

Also any stories and anecdotes of people or events pertaining to Stroat – The more comprehensive this site can be made for those who live in Stroat or have lived here in the past the more interesting it will become to them and also to visitors and those with a passing interest in the hamlet.

The site will in time increasingly become a memorial and In Memoriam to those who have passed, giving a touchstone to the history of both the hamlet and the immediate area.

Sadly, for want of recording the facts, we bury our history at every funeral, death takes memories to the grave that are of value to the future!

Your help in any way would be appreciated, particularly if you can provide other picturef of classes at the school or at the moment the names of the 1925 class below. Thank you to anyone who can help.
