A Vision of Britain through Time provides the following description of Hinders Lane from John Bartholomew's Gazetteer of the British Isles of 1887:
Late in the 18th century it was an extraparochial area on Littledean Hill in Cinderford but population increased as more coal mines were sunk and the area became the parish of Hinder's Lane and Dockham in 1869. Hinder's Lane and Dockham parish was abolished in 1884 and the area was absorbed into the parish of East Dean. In 1957 East Dean parish was abolished and this section appears to have been absorbed into Cinderford parish. The section Forest of Dean: Settlement from the Victoria County History of Gloucestershire found in the website British History Online mentions Hinders Lane and Dockham three times. There is a map in the chapter titled "Cinderford and Ruspidge" which locates Hinders Lane and Dockham. Comparing this map with Google Earth (which does not label the former parish), one is able to pinpoint the location of Hinders Lane and Dockham to the co-ordinates given above. This is a crossroads on the eastern side of Cinderford. [edit] Registration DistrictsWestbury-on-Severn (1837 - 1884)
