16 April 1844 to William Smith of Poolgreen for a pit, situate about 50 yards westward of the double gates leading to Edenwall Farm, on the waste land by the side of the turnpike road from Coleford to Parkend to get coal from the Coleford High Delf.
F3 296
18 August 1865 Mr. S. T. Thomas ‘I gave £15 for this
colliery
some years ago knowing it to be valueless having been worked out a long
time ago’. At least eight pits on the property. Thomas
would
surrender the gale unless the dead rent was reduced.
The Crown, however, believed that the Coleford High Delf coal was still
workable as in the Edinwall gale adjoining which had just started
working
it. Believed that it was just an attempt to gain a reduction in
the
dead rent.
Also had Lonk and Patches Collieries.
