Reclaimed Harbour Lydney Forest of Dean
Reclaimed Lydney Harbour. There has been a port here since Roman times, but locks and docks were not built until the early 19th century. Coal and timber were the main exports together with smaller amounts of stone and ore. At one point late in its life, timber was actually imported through here, African hardwood for use by local industries. At its peak 406,400 tonnes of coal per annum passed through handled by 9 coaling stages.
Silt from the river has always, and still is a problem, and in 1810 proposals were made to build a dock, as well as construct a lock, and a canal, to ship goods from Lydney. Approval was granted and the work took 3 years to complete. In 1821 the dock was extended again and a tidal basin added to extend the access time between tides.
Today the harbour is kept respectful of its past, allowing access to most of what remains, some of the machinery and capstan, together with some of the old buildings. There are some information boards and it is easy to find traces of the past activities. Using the harbour as a base there are some very good walks to be had, both up river, down river and inland. I hope this film provides a useful snapshot.

Lydney Harbour of about 100 years ago matched, where possible to contemporary photographs. Unfortunately not always possible to obtain the same viewpoint due to the density of trees & bushes along the canal side.

Remembering Fukushima @ Lydney Docks 2014
Fukushima Day Remembrance event was held by STAND (Severnside Together Against Nuclear Development) on Tuesday 11th March at Lydney harbour.
The event commemorated the dreadful nuclear accident at the Daiichi nuclear reactors in Fukushima exactly three years ago. It was attended by Molly Scott Cato, prospective member of the European parliament for the Green Party, Steven Parry-Hearn, the Labour party's prospective parliamentary candidate for the Forest of Dean (who speaks out against nuclear despite his Party's support for nuclear) and James Greenwood, who is the Green Party's prospective parliamentary candidate for the Forest of Dean but who was speaking as a member of STAND.
This film by Philip Booth captures some of those speakers and the atmosphere of the afternoon. Over a 100 people came to hear the speeches and walk down to the Docks to throw flowers into the River Severn as a mark of respect and remembrance.
STAND is a non-political, non-violent pressure group dedicated to stopping the building of a new nuclear power station at Oldbury.
