Description
The Old Furnace Level at Hopewell Colliery is an adit head to coal measures, built between 1810 and 1820 by David Mushet. It features dressed stone and an elliptically vaulted tunnel, with stone revetments along the banks of the cutting at its entrance. Originally, there was a plateway through the tunnel accompanied by a drainage channel, but the floor is now covered in gravel. David Mushet (1772-1847) was a notable geologist, metallurgist, iron-master, and colliery owner who acquired the mine in the early 19th century. This adit head is a rare surviving early example in the Forest of Dean.
