It's been nice to get back to outings visiting the old coal mines and their tramways in and around Radstock once again.
I have completed the mines in Radstock with only a few to cover around Midsomer Norton. They were all under
the Radstock Coalmine sector and most connected by narrow or standard gauge tramways or tunnels below ground.
Sadly, there are few photographs of the mines or their trains as they closed many years ago now but it is still interesting
searching their remains. Interesting too is that most of the tramways are still walkable today, including their numerous
inclines and make for very enjoyable walks in pleasant countryside.
I have completed six sections either adding further photographs to present ones or forming completely new walks. These
are: links 3 Foxcote Colliery & Incline, 4 & 5. Lower Writhlington to Upper Writhlington & Incline, Huish Colliery & Incline,
11. Middle Pit, Clandown Colliery & Incline and 12. Wellsway Colliery & Incline.
I hope that you find something of interest. Link below.
