Cinderford
Cinderford is a small town and also civil church 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 began in the 19th century, following the rapid development of Cinderford Ironworks as well as the Forest of Dean Coalfield. Cinderford's origins can be seen in the style and format of the town, with long rows of identical terraced real estate comparable to those located in the mining towns of the South Wales Valleys. The decline of the coal industry in the 1950s and 1960s influenced Cinderford as the majority of the male population was employed in mining.
