| | GENUKI: Lydney, Gloucestershire - Kelly's 1861 Commercial Directory |
 | | Lydney is by some writers supposed to have been the Roman station "Abona," and there are certain evidences of its occupation by the Romans. |
 | | In Lydney park, where stands the mansion of the late Charles Bathurst, Esq., are remains of a Roman villa and of two camps; and near a Roman bath, in tolerably perfect preservation, fragments of tesselated pavement, urns, statues, coins, andc., have likewise been found. |
 | | Lydney creek, port of Gloucester, is the term given to the harbour; the width of the outer gates is 26 feet; and within, vessels of 400 tons find birth. |
