9 September 1876 Gloucester Journal DISCOVERY OF COAL AT CINDERFORD.  After a very considerable expenditure of money, Mr. Chivers, the proprietor of the Hawkwell Colliery, Cinderford, on Thursday succeeded in striking a vein of coal.  It would be premature to state the thickness of the measure, as this can scarcely be ascertained until more time has elapsed to test it.  It may, however, be stated that the discovery, apart from its value to Mr. Chivers, is an important one for Forest mining.  Mr. Alfred Ridler, of Cinderford is the manager.

16 September 1876 Gloucester Journal The vein of coal struck by Mr. Jacopb Chivers, of the Hawkwell Colliery, being the Coleford Hill Delf, is found to yield a thickness of 3ft. 6in.  There is a second meaure, one foot in thickness, a clod supervening between that and the Hill Delf coal.  Much interest is attached to this important discovery, as it solves a problem which has created considerable speculation in the Forest district for many years past.  The colliery was abandoned 30 years ago by its then owner, after sinking a depth of 100 yards, in consequence of the unmanageable inflow of water.  It was purchased by Mr. Chivers a few years ago.

4 March 1887 Dean Forest Mercury On Monday morning last, a serious breakage occured to the winding machinery.  It seams that about 10 o'clock the engineman, (Mr. A. Chivers), observed something wrong with the fly-wheel, and immediately examined the spindle, which he found cracked.  It was very fortunate that the breakage did not take place when the men were descending a few hours earlier, otherwise the effects might have been disasterous.  In the evening, the men in the pit had to be got out by means of a small engine, and a few at a time, and it was consequently later than usual before all were brought to the surface.  The breakage will necessitate a cessation of work for a week or so, and thus will be a great loss to all concerned.
