Mr Roberts may well have been the last private charcoal burners in the Forest but Charcoal burning took place in the Heywood Plantation adjacent to Cinderford during the 2nd World War.There were 4/5 metal kilns approx 15' high and 10' diameter situated alongside the track leading to the keeper's lodge at Edge Hills.The produce was used in the production of explosives as part of the war effort.I believe there is charcoal burning currently taking place in the Soudley Valley area.
