  • Editorial Comment
    Hampshire Horsewatch Bulletin (incorporating information from around the country) 1 March 2010 Editorial Comment The info below has been sent in by various contributors Road Sense Horse riders have a right to use the roads as a means of safe and enjoyable travel, but should also share a responsibility to understand the needs and problems of other road users. Riders would prefer not to use the roads, but often have little choice because it is their only way to bridleways and other facilities off the road. Drivers take care! It may not always be obvious to vehicle drivers why horses and riders are doing what they are doing, although there is normally a good reason. Remember the following points, particularly whilst driving on roads where you are more likely to meet horses, such as country lanes. • Take care on approaching blind bends – never go so fast that you cannot easily stop, there could be a horse and rider round the next one. • Drive slowly past horses - give them plenty of room and be prepared to stop. • Do not scare animals by using your horn or revving your engine. • Look out for horse riders’ signals. • Take extra care with child and other inexperienced riders and horses. • Always treat horses as a potential hazard and expect the unexpected. When you see horses on the road – always slow down! Riders – look after yourselves! Sometimes horse riders don’t do themselves any favours on the road and endanger other road users, their horses and their own safety by not taking a few simple precautions or following a few simple rules: • Always wear a riding helmet with the strap done up – remember it is compulsory for under 14’s.

  • Freeminers Background Since the 14Th Century Freeminers Have Had the Right to Mine Anywhere Within the Forest of Dean
    Freeminers Background Since the 14th century freeminers have had the right to mine anywhere within the Forest of Dean. Under the terms of a royal decree, any man over 21 born within the hundred of St Briavels who has worked a year and a day underground can become a freeminer. The hundred of St Briavels includes the parishes of Coleford, Newland, Staunton, English Bicknor, Hewelsfield, St Briavels, Ruardean, Mitcheldean, Abenhall, Flaxley, Littledean and the East and West Dean areas. They mined coal, iron and stone. The plot of land that a freeminer was given to mine was known as a gale. The Dean Forest Mines Act of 1838 allowed freeminers to sell their gales to industrial miners. The Act also required a formal register of freeminers to be kept. From 2010 women were allowed to become freeminers. What records are there and what information will they contain? D5947: Records of the Forestry Commission relating to Freeminers Most of the records relating to freeminers were made by the Forestry Commission who look after the Forest of Dean. Records relating to the Forest of Dean are held at Gloucestershire Archives under the reference D5947. The collection includes: Freeminers applications 1838-1956 (D5947/1/2, use the index to find the application number – D5947/1/3) Gale books 1811-1838 (D5947/3/1) Register of applications for gales 1838-1920 (D5947/3/3) Gale rent ledgers 1789-1841 (D5947/5/1) Coal and iron mine ledgers 1841-1938 (D5947/5/2) Plans of coal and iron workings D9096: Forestry Commission This collection contains other records that relate to the Forest of Dean.
