About Fencing in Radstock

Radstock in Somerset sat at the heart of the Somerset Coalfield, where coal was first discovered in 1763 and mining expanded steadily through the 19th century under landowning families such as the Waldegraves, who had held the manor since the Civil War. Production peaked around 1901, when 79 separate collieries across the coalfield produced some 1,250,000 tons of coal a year, transported first along the Somerset Coal Canal and later the Wilts, Somerset and Weymouth Railway, which reached Radstock in 1854. Difficult geology and narrow seams gradually made extraction less viable, and the last two pits in the area, Kilmersdon and Writhlington, finally closed in September 1973.
