WEST DEAN CANNOP Old furnace level at Hopewell Colliery

II

Adit head to coal measures. Built in 1810-20 by David Mushet. Dressed stone. Elliptically vaulted tunnel and stone revetments to the banks of the cutting at its entrance. Originally there was a plateway through the tunnel with a drainage channel beside it, but the floor of the tunnel is now covered in gravel. David Mushet [1772~1847) was a distinguished geologist and metallurgist, iron-master and colliery owner, who acquired the mine in the early C19. This adit head is a rare surviving early example in the Forest of Dean.
