Severn And Wye Railway And Canal
All photographs of this railway in date order.
![Before the Severn and Wye Railway was built, tramroads took coal out of the Forest of Dean. This one (the double trackway) ran to a chute that dropped coal near what is now 'The Courtfield Arms' to load onto barges. The Severn and Wye itself ran just to the right of the white house before crossing the Lyd valley on a tall viaduct (now demolished) and continuing to Lydbrook Junction. Lower Lydbrook Halt (closed 1903) was just to the right of the camera.<br><br>[John Thorn 01/09/2003]](/images/39000/39959.jpg "Lower Lydbrook")
![The remains of a wagon turntable on an old railway embankment overlooking Lydney Harbour with the lock gates and River Severn behind. A display board nearby showed pictures of coal, that had been brought down the Dean Forest Railway, being tipped into Severn barges from here and stated it was last used on 31st October 1960.<br><br>[Mark Bartlett 12/06/2010]](/images/29000/29343.jpg "Lydney Harbour")
