Site of former gas works, Coleford
The site is now occupied by an engineering firm, Sam Tooling Ltd. A stone inscription, "Gas Works 1840", is built into the wall of the modern building. The gas works supplied shops and houses in the town from 1840. In 1946 the Lydney Gas Company took over. Gas production ceased at Coleford in 1950 following nationalisation.

Long disused railway bridge, Coleford
The bridge crosses over Newland Street. I was surprised to find no indication of a railway line here on a 1940s map and even more so when it was not shown on a 1930s map. Further research found that there were formerly two railway stations in Coleford. The Great Western station closed in 1917 and the former Severn and Wye joint (Great Western and Midland) station closed in 1929.
