HISTORIC ENVIRONMENT RECORD GLOUCESTERSHIRE Summary Of HISTORIC ENVIRONMENT RECORD GLOUCESTERSHIRE Summary of Sources The old county of Gloucestershire is now covered by two local authorities. Gloucestershire County Council is still responsible for the majority of the rural areas while the smaller unitary authority of South Gloucestershire includes the more urbanised areas to the NE of Bristol including, Thornbury, Chipping Sodbury, Yate and the urban fringes of Bristol itself. The county is rich in minerals, and in the past has supported industries exploiting iron, coal, sandstone and limestone. GLOUCESTERSHIRE Gloucestershire is divisible into three historically distinct landscapes: Forest of Dean, Severn Valley and the Cotswolds. Of these, the Forest of Dean appears to have been a focus for the most research into extractive industries recorded by the HER where coal and iron occur. This area has been the focus of much recent archaeological attention, including the Forest of Dean Archaeological Survey (2008). This is now available for viewing, but not dowloading, on the worldwide web at: http://www.gloucestershire.gov.uk/index.cfm?articleid=1950 Despite other mineral industries existing in this county, and having a presence in the HER, the main sources of information for these are general or regional industrial archaeology studies. No specific research examining sources of Cotswold stone (Oolitic Limestone) are listed in the HER and for quarries generally, although recorded, the materials produced are unspecified. An important piece of work on the iron industry published in 2007 is the results of the Scowles Survey of the Forest of Dean, which includes a full and comprehensive bibliography. The most relevant entries have been included in the list for Gloucestershire below. The full report is available on the web via the ADS website: http://ads.ahds.ac.uk/ One major source of data for the Gloucestershire HER has been the National Mapping Project (NMP) and other aerial photographic transcriptions, which have greatly increased the number of extractive industry entries. The summary reports that accompany The Forest of Dean and Cotswolds NMP maps are available as NMR records and can be searched for at the Pastscape website at: http://www.pastscape.org.uk/TextPage.aspx Several industrial and mining interest societies are active in Gloucestershire. All have published material in the past, and some details are available from their respective websites: Bristol Industrial Archaeology Society http://www.b-i-a-s.org.uk/ Gloucester Society for Industrial Archaeology http://www.gsia.org.uk/ South Gloucestershire Mines Research Group http://www.sgmrg.co.uk/ Bristol and Gloucestershire Archaeological Society http://www.bgas.org.uk/tbgas/bgi.php (Transactions fully digitized on line 1876-2004) Abbreviations DAG = Dean Archaeological Group GCCAS = Gloucester County Council Archaeology Services, GSIA = Gloucester Society for Industrial Archaeology OAU = Oxford Archaeology Unit Bibliography compiled from ther Gloucestershire HER and other sources Anon 1989 Drybrook Quarry Extension, Drybrook, Gloucestershire.

    FOREST OF DEAN LOCAL HISTORY SOCIETY In this edition: ● Clearwell Magic! - See our review of Di Standing’s remarkable talk ● “We’re Not Telling” - Join a walk with our Victorian ancestors ● Iron Production in the Dean ● 70th Anniversary Dinner at the Speech House Editors Notes Occasionally you attend an event that is so good it resonates and stays with you for a long time. Di Standing’s remarkable talk. “A History of Underground Dean’, was one of those rare events. Set in the highly appropriate location of Clearwell Caves, Di entertained her audience with a wonderful talk and film. Cheryl Mayo’s cover photograph captures the atmosphere whilst members socialised over tea, cider and bread and cheese! As always John Powell has provided a warm, concise and expressive review of the event which you can find towards the back of this issue. What John has refrained from telling you is that those who helped set up the event down in the Caves ‘enjoyed’ the end of a bizarre Harry Potter convention, complete with a party of 70 from Germany who were appropriately dressed as Harry, or dragons, or monsters! Editor: Keith Walker Further thanks are due to John Powell for sourcing the interesting article 51 Lancaster Drive in the centre pages which features a walk taken locally in Victorian times. Lydney GL15 5SJ Many of you will have attended the 70th anniversary dinner held 01594 843310 recently at the Speech House. I was there along with my camera to NewsletterEditor capture the event. On reviewing my work the next day, I found to my @forestofdeanhistory.org.uk horror that not a single shot had been saved to memory.

In the past arbitary divisions were often made between antiquities and the 'scars of industry‘. The former often enjoyed protection whilst the latter were frequently obliterated. Today no such divisions exist for the Council for British Archaeology cover a period from the Palaeolithic to modern times. The Department of the Environment afford statutary protection to sites of all ages by Listing and Scheduling. In addition there has been a large upsurge of interest in industrial and technological history by the general public. In 1977 Anne Ellison produced a report entitled IA survey of the archaeological implications of forestry in the Forest of Dean‘. This was produced under the auspices of the Committee for Rescue Archaeology in Avon, Gloucestershire and Somerset. A large section of this report was devoted to industrial history and particularly to the iron industry. Unfortunately some of the information presented is incorrect whilst the terminology is muddled in parts. Many of the sites noted are not on Commission land or even forested. This list has been drawn up by S.D.Coates and I.J.Standing at the request of G.S.I.A. following informal contact with the Commission. It should not be regarded as a definitive list for unknown sites of interest may well come to light“during forestry operations, particularly those connected with the iron industry before 1700.

    Report on Spring Meeting. Return to Coalbrookdale. I remember the early days at Coalbrookdale when it was little more than an idea to save the ruins of the Historical Metallurgy Society furnaces, in the mind of Reg Morton; when the days of a World Heritage Site for the Valley was far in the future. We would all gather round the Bedlam 51 Summer Autumn 2002 furnaces while Reg Morton held forth on their history and Keith Gale explained the intricacies of Forthcoming Events iron production. They were days to conjure with when Michael Hallett, Douglas Hague, Leo Biek, Kenneth Barraclough, Ronnie Tyiecote, Richard HMS Annual Conference 13-15 September Doncaster and Michael Darby would be of the party based at Seaford for the Weald.
