Mines in Ruspidge & Viney Hill (General)

I have found Ian Pope’s "Forest of Dean Coal Mining" website to be an outstanding reference (see http://www.lightmoor.co.uk/forestcoal/Coalintro.html ) For example, see the 1894 map of local coal and iron mines at http://www.lightmoor.co.uk/forestcoal/Overviewmap.html .

The Coalmining History Resource Center is also quite informative (see http://www.cmhrc.co.uk/site/home/ ).
