..... Does anyone have a definitive list of the mines still working? I
thought that there were only 2 in the whole Forest. Would be grateful for
some help.

I contacted the Deputy Gaveller and he replied
"Kelvin Green has visited all the working coal mines in Dean!
However it should be noted that Robin also has the colliery museum and now
works the Coleford Hign Delf seam in the old Hinton's workings as well as
maintenance work in Phoenix.
There are of course the iron mines at Clearwell & the other sites owned by
Messrs Wright"
In terms of working mines TWO makes the Forest of Dean one of the more
active coalfields !!!

David
