==History==
The name of the hamlet derives from the Middle English word "pludde" or "plodde", meaning a pool or puddle.〔A. H. Smith, (1965), ''The Place-names of Gloucestershire. Part IV'', page 162. English Place-Name Society〕 The area was known as The Pludds by 1787 when a few houses are reported.〔(Forest of Dean: Settlement ), Victoria County History〕 One of the oldest surviving houses, Pludds Court, dates from the late 18th or early 19th century.〔 Occasional building continued at the Pludds after 1840 and a beerhouse called the Royal Oak had opened by 1891.〔 In the late 19th and early 20th century there was a coal shaft known as "Pluds" just southwest of the hamlet, which formed part of the Lydbrook Colliery.〔(Pluds ), Forest of Dean Local History Society〕
The hamlet had shops, a beerhouse, a choral society, and a cricket club, but these had all been closed or been disbanded by 1990.〔 The village hall, built in 1975, continues in use.〔
