It appears to lie just to the east of Bewdley, close to an area called The Lakes and Hales Park Close by are Tanners Hill, Coppice Gate, Bowcastle Farm and Uncllys. All of these are names that appear in the 1881 census as being immediately adjacent to Bloody Hole. There is today, midway between Coppice Gate and Hales Park, a place called HOLE FARM. Surely that must be it ! Go to Bewdley with multimap and choose the Ordnance Survey map. Then zoom in to Hales Park and you will find the places to which I refer, including Hole Farm, just an inch or two to the east. It's just to the north of the junction of the A456 and the B4190. Coppice Gate and Hole Farm lie immediately next to one another off a country lane. marked on the OS map in yellow, from Hales Park. -- Roy Stockdill Genealogical researcher, writer & lecturer Newbies' Guide to Genealogy & Family History: www.genuki.org.uk/gs/Newbie.html "There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about."
