Few people visited the Forest of Dean. They thought us primitive, and looked down on us. Winifred Foley grew up in the 1920s, a bright, determined miners daughter in a world of unspoiled beauty and desperate hardship, in which women were widowed at 30 and children died of starvation. Living handtomouth in a tumbledown cottage in the Forest of Dean, Foley'our Poll'had a loving family and the woods and streams of a forest 'better than heaven' as a playground. But a brother and sister were dead in infancy, bread had to be begged from kindly neighbors, and she never had a new pair of shoes or a shopbought doll. And most terrible of all, like her sister before her, at 14 little Poll had to leave her beloved forest for the city, bound for a life in service among Londons grey terraces.
