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. -

Adm Issue 10 Finnished
4x4x4x4 Four times a year Four times the copy Four times the quality Four times the dive experience Advanced Diver Magazine might just be a quarterly magazine, printing four issues a year. Still, compared to all other U.S. monthly dive maga- zines, Advanced Diver provides four times the copy, four times the quality and four times the dive experience. The staff and contribu- tors at ADM are all about diving, diving more than should be legally allowed. We are constantly out in the field "doing it," exploring, photographing and gathering the latest information about what we love to do. In this issue, you might notice that ADM is once again expanding by 16 pages to bring you, our readers, even more information and contin- ued high-quality photography. Our goal is to be the best dive magazine in the history of diving! I think we are on the right track. Tell us what you think and read about what others have to say in the new "letters to bubba" section found on page 17.

Cave Diving in the Northern Pennines
CAVE DIVING IN THE NORTHERN PENNINES By M.A.MELVIN Reprinted from – The proceedings of the British Speleological Association – No.4. 1966 BRITISH SPELEOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION SETTLE, YORKS. CAVE DIVING IN THE NORTHERN PENNINES By Mick Melvin In this paper I have endeavoured to trace the history and development of cave diving in the Northern Pennines. My prime object has been to convey to the reader a reasonable understanding of the motives of the cave diver and a concise account of the work done in this particular area. It frequently occurs that the exploration of a cave is terminated by reason of the cave passage becoming submerged below water (A sump) and in many cases the sink or resurgence for the water will be found to be some distance away, and in some instances a considerable difference in levels will be present. Fine examples of this occurrence can be found in the Goyden Pot, Nidd Head's drainage system in Nidderdale, and again in the Alum Pot - Turn Dub, drainage in Ribblesdale. It was these postulated cave systems and the success of his dives in Swildons Hole, Somerset, that first brought Graham Balcombe to the large resurgence of Keld Head in Kingsdale in 1944. In a series of dives carried out between August 1944 and June 1945, Balcombe penetrated this rising for a distance of over 200 ft. and during the course of the dive entered at one point a completely waterbound chamber containing some stalactites about 5' long, but with no way on above water level. It is interesting to note that in these early cave dives in Yorkshire the diver carried a 4' probe to which was attached a line reel, a compass, and his lamp which was of the miners' type, and attached to the end of the probe was a tassle of white tape which was intended for use as a current detector. -

CAVE DIVERS ASSOCIATION OF AUSTRALIA INCORPORATED IN SOUTH AUSTRALIA 40TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATING 40 YEARS IN 2013 AGM and Symposium 2013 This year marks the 40th anniversary of the Cave Divers Association of Australia (CDAA). To celebrate, we are holding an exciting two day event on the 9th and 10th of November in conjunction with this year’s Annual General Meeting (AGM). There will be a number of talks, demonstrations and displays, at which we will also be inviting public participation. Speakers will include notable Australian and international cave divers. We are also planning on inviting various dignitaries including representatives from local and state government, private land owners and the local media. The venue, the Main Corner, is conveniently located in the centre of town at 1 Bay Road, Mount Gambier. The Symposium will be held in the Dress Circle commencing at 9:00am. The AGM will follow at 6:00pm and dinner will be served in City Hall at 7:30pm. We hope that you can join us to celebrate 40 years of CDAA history. 2013 SYMPOSIUM AGENDA & GUEST SPEAKERS PAGE 1 ~ GUEST SPEAKER BIO’S ~ Peter Horne & Ian Lewis Peter Horne & Ian Lewis are two of the CDAA’s longest serving members and their contributions to the Association are themselves “historic”. Both have acted in official capacity as Office Bearers, both have been amongst the first to find, explore and map a multitude of sites and both have had to work hard to ensure that the CDAA has continued access to many sites that it retains today. Peter “Puddles” Horne became interested in Mount Gambier's underground realm in 1976 after a workmate introduced him to Ewen's Ponds. -
Wookey Hole in Search of New Chambers and I Don’T Suppose Anything Was Further from Their Thoughts Than Underwater Archaeology
For ten or twelve years I had been excavating caves in search of ancient remains and nothing was further from my thoughts than cave diving. I knew, of course, that divers were exploring the subterranean River Axe within the Great Cave of Wookey Hole in search of new chambers and I don’t suppose anything was further from their thoughts than underwater archaeology. I had, in fact, done a little diving myself with Arthur Hill under the instruction of Graham Balcombe and Jack Sheppard at Ffynnon Ddu in the Swansea Valley over Easter 1946 when they attempted to get into the then unknown Ogof Ffynnon Ddu system. This was not realised until Peter Harvey and Bill Weaver dug their way in during the August Bank Holiday weekend that Summer. However, the diving meet at Easter saw the birth of the new Cave Diving Group. But I had no ambition to pursue diving like the others. Fig. 5.1 The iconic silhouette of The Witch of Wookey Hole stalagmite (left) in the First Chamber, also called the Witch’s Kitchen. Human remains were first found on the river bed beyond the boat (right), Whitsun 1946. Photo by Peter Baker from Wookey Hole Caves 91 WOOKEY HOLE - 75 YEARS OF CAVE DIVING & EXPLORATION Fate was to play a hand for in 1946 while exploring Wookey Hole Graham Balcombe stumbled across human remains and pottery. And so I was asked by the Cave Diving Group whether I would take control of the archaeological problems, to which I consented and was given the imposing title of ‘Archaeological Controller’. -
