This website is interesting because it incorporates audio of oral history - those researchers from overseas might like to hear what their ancestors' accents might have been like!
Those with railway interests might also enjoy the reminiscences of John Humphries.

Added: Dursley and Cam site also incorporating oral history pages

Thanks for the link Arranroots.
We lived in Dursley from 1974-1976 and our two eldest children attended Rednock School, so I was interested in the article about the school. I'll pass it on to my eldest two.
Do you live in Dursley? I wouldn't want to say anything bad about it if you do, but I have to say I can't think of anything good to say about it.

No, we drove through yesterday & I was interested to see where my ancestors used to live - any idea if the workhouse is still there?
Actually it looked quite pictureque in places and the hills around are beautiful.
We did used to beat Rednock at hockey though!
