Green to black to green
This heritage trail entrance is a modern nature reserve and largely populated by greenery. In the past it was equally green until the coal mining industry came along. There then followed a couple of centuries of extraction, and this spot was the entrance to the Old Pit - and the massive intrusion that it brought to the previously quiet village. Now it's returned to the peace and quiet of before, with a trail for visitors to enjoy.

The big miner
The Old Pit colliery used to be here during its career of coal extraction from 1781 to the mid-1890s. It provided thousands of tons of good house and gas coal but later acceded to the New Pit when that opened up better seams. By 1937 the Old Pit was closed and the shaft capped - marked by the iron plating in the foreground.
The large black statue in the background is one that stood in the Festival of Britain in 1951.
The area now known as Camerton Batch Local Nature Reserve stands largely on the old spoil heaps that were produced over the years. Nature has been invited back and many examples of wildlife have taken the opportunity.

Camerton: site of station, 1987
View northward, across the course of the GWR Limpley Stoke (right) - Hallatrow (left) branch, which was closed way back on 21/9/25 - after only 15 years, to goods from 15/2/51. No trace seems to be left.
