The Story of Parkend: A Forest of Dean Village

This was one of the first books put together by Lightmoor Press and it has now been republished in an extended format with extra photographs to add to the history of this industrialised village in  the heart of the Forest of Dean. The author looks in depth at the history of the village which once had ironworks, tinplate works, collieries and stone works as well as a railway station and tramroad  interchange wharf. The text is supported by many photographs maps,  plans and other ephemera to fully document the fascinating story of  the terminus of the Dean Forest Railway.
