2011 : Church Street, Coleford near the top of the hill
In the 18th and 19th centuries Coleford was a mining village. Now its main industries are farming and quarrying of Mendip limestone.
"Apart from agriculture, the main industry in recent history (between 1700 - 1900), was coal mining. Originally a cottage industry, demand grew with the industrial revolution. The main pits in the area were Coalbarton pit, which closed in 1869 following a firedamp explosion which killed 9 miners, and Newbury and Mackintosh pits. Mackintosh opened in 1867 and closed in 1919, due to a failure of the pit cage rope. Suitable rope was in short supply because of the First World War. It was not possible to bring up the pit ponies without the cage working, so they had to be killed down in the mine. Newbury pit closed around 1927. Other pits in the area were at Vobster and Mells."

Coleford village hall
The hall has a datestone of 1963, but it appears to have been a welfare institute before that - for at least a few decades.
