It gets on the north west side of the Forest of Dean's present legal border appropriate. It makes up the areas of Lower Lydbrook, Upper Lydbrook, Joys Green and also Worrall Hill. It has a mile as well as a half long primary street, understood to be the longest main road of any type of town in England. Lydbrook falls in 'Lydbrook and also Ruardean' selecting ward. This ward begins in the south eastern at Lydbrook as well as stretches to the north eastern at Ruardean. The complete parish population taken at the 2011 census was 4,819. The present community of Lydbrook seems to have had its beginnings in the 13th century. In a document of a sale of trees in 1256, mention is made from 'the Mill of Lydbrook'. Additionally very early notes on Lydbrook occur in a survey of the Forest of Dean in 1282. The Lyd (a brook, which flows right into the River Wye) developed, for part of its trips, the limit in between the Bailiwicks of Bikenore (English Bicknor) and Rywardin (Ruardean). Today many maps call the Lyd, Hough Brook, or Great Hough Brook, and also Exactly how Brook which joins the Lyd is recognized on modern maps as Little Hough Brook. Listed in the 1282 entrances of those who had grown land, William of Ludebrok (Lydbrook), appears under the church of Bikenore, and also under the church of Rywardin. Rather than being 2 separate parcels in differing localities, it was most likely that William's land will have consisted of the creek, thus his incorporation in the documents for both parishes. Additionally, under the entrance for Bikenore is recorded, Robert of Stoufeld (Stowfield). Thus the growth of Lydbrook began at Lower Lydbrook. The town takes its name from the brook running its entire size - the 'loud brook' or lud creek to come to be Lyd Brook. The town established as a site for the local iron as well as coal sectors with your homes as an advancement right into the Forest mapping the Lyd brook which provided the water needed for industry and domestic use. The growth of the advancement, continued right into the Bailiwick of Magna Dean (Mitcheldean), the location which ended up being referred to as Upper Lydbrook as well as Joys Green. The village only became a location of population of any size 17th century onwards, yet expanded progressively given that to continue to be static for almost a century and a half at a population of about 2,500 between the 1850s as well as the start of the 1990s. Nevertheless, from the beginning of the 1990s the community has begun to slowly depopulate. One phone call to popularity of the recent past, which now is luckily no longer true, is that Humphrey Phelps, in his publication on the Forest of Dean recalls that in the 1950s Lydbrook had the highest incidence of consumption in England.
