In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Lydbrook like this:
LIDBROOK, a village in English-Bicknor parish, Gloucester; on the river Wye, 4½ miles S of Ross. It has a post office under Ross, and a Baptist chapel; and a tramroad, used for the conveyance of coal and timber, goes from it, through Dean forest, to Newnham and Lydney on the Severn.
