History

Mile End is situated on the road leading northeast out of Coleford. The road between Mile End and Poolgreen was known in 1317 as the Derkesty (later Dark Stile).[1] It was an important route from Mitcheldean, and in the later 17th century traffic between Gloucester and South Wales used this route.[1]

Five cottages were built on Crown land on the Five Acres road at Mile End in 1787.[2] The inn originally known as the Royal Forester opened by the mid 1870s.[3] The Primitive Methodists built a chapel, Mount Hermon, at Mile End in 1904.[4] West Dean district council created a cemetery at Mile End for an area covering Milkwall, Berry Hill, and Lydbrook in 1967.[5]
