Cinderford
Cinderford is a small town as well as civil parish on the eastern edge of the Forest of Dean in Gloucestershire, England, which had a population of 8,494 at the 2011 census. The town came into existence in the 19th century, following the quick expansion of Cinderford Ironworks and also the Forest of Dean Coalfield. Cinderford's beginnings can be seen in the style and layout of the town, with long rows of the same terraced housing similar to those located in the mining villages of the South Wales Valleys. The decrease of the coal sector in the 1950s and 1960s influenced Cinderford as most of the male population was used in mining.
