Cottages at Upper Forge
A terrace of cottages, presumably once homes to workers at the former foundry and ironworks at Upper Forge. This was one of a pair, in conjunction with the industry at Image, which was operated by the Pemberton and Stokes company between 1789 and about 1814. Ownership changed over the years, and Lower Forge continued in business until the 1880s, although it seems likely that Upper Forge had ceased to be viable well before that date.

Weir for Eardington Upper Forge
This is on the Mor Brook and is a masonry dam 30 yards long and raising the water level by 15'. Sluices supplied the Upper Forge and the tail race from there constituted a navigable canal and water supply to the Lower Forge. This is the most spectacular publicly accessible remnant of the Upper Forge as the other remains are in a trout farm and not accessible. The pond behind the dam/weir is now very largely silted up. The forges made fine charcoal iron for gun barrels, wire and horseshoe nails.

GWR No. 2857 with 'Steam in Lights' at Eardington
New Christmas special that was announced by the Severn Valley Railway in November 2019, the steam locomotive and its train is basically covered in just Christmas decorations... how epic is that? The engine pulling this excellent special was GWR No. 2857.
