Mitcheldean was a thriving community for many centuries due to the community's distance to iron ore down payments. Throughout the 19th century, the community grew as a result of earnings generated by the regional brewing sector. Like several of the Forest of Dean villages, Mitcheldean was a close-knit community with private practices. Among these was the in your area famous (or infamous) Mitcheldean Prize Brass Band. It is strongly valued and also described in a narrative by Arthur Bullock, a citizen of neighboring Longhope, whose dad as well as brothers were in it. Stating the band's exploits, he comments, 'I just desire I might have been fortunate to hear the Mitcheldean Prize Brass Band play when every one of the gamers were completely sober at the same time'. Nonetheless, it is without a doubt serious to read his additional representation that the band should have been 'killed off by the 1914-18 war'.
