This ward starts in the north east at Mitcheldean as well as stretches south western to Drybrook. The complete ward population taken at the 2011 census was 4,607. Mitcheldean was a flourishing neighborhood for several centuries as a result of the community's distance to iron ore deposits. During the 19th century, the community expanded because of profits generated by the local brewing sector. Like several of the Forest of Dean villages, Mitcheldean was a close-knit neighborhood with private practices. Among these was the in your area popular (or well known) Mitcheldean Prize Brass Band. It is strongly loved as well as explained in a narrative by Arthur Bullock, a homeowner of nearby Longhope, whose dad and brothers remained in it. Stating the band's exploits, he comments, 'I only desire I could have been blessed to hear the Mitcheldean Prize Brass Band play when all of the players were fully sober at the same time'.
