Celebrating the Forest of Dean¹s long and surprisingly extensive involvement with the iron, coal and stone industries, starting at the pre-Roman workings (scowles), not forgetting the transport infrastructure and ending with ‘freeminers’ still at work today.

‘Chris’s personal approach conveys the spirit of this fascinating local heritage’
– Richard Wakeford, Chief Executive, Countryside Agency.
