Both coal and iron, depending which part of the town... Also named after the waste from iron smelting, a Ford across the stream made from iron cinders

Hey let's interact just like we might do on Facebook? This place seems so cold to me, all I seem to get is messages from bots and catfishers

Boycotting meta till the 26th, I deactivated FB last nite... Only now is it apparent just how often I reach for it for a dopamine chaser, as I have already clicked on the icon several times without thinking... Bluesky not as addictive. #LightsOutMeta

1st 10mile hike round the old mineral loop railway in #forestofdean about 100 yrs ago and more most ppl kept pigs, generally 1 on the wall (dead and preserved) and 1 in the cot... And used the ancient right of pannage during autumn and winter, so they could forage for acorns #commoning #photography

Travertine / tufa dams on Slade Brook formed by lime just below a spring on the edge of carboniferous limestone strata... But the approx 60 dams themselves occur as the stream flows through older, Devonian sandstone strata #geology #naturalwonders #forestofdean #photography

I think maybe the EP Cream Corn From the Socket of Davis... They went downhill when they signed to a major label... Last decent LP was Independent Worm Saloon, tho some I know think that one was duff, I like it tho

The Roman wall, medieval foundations and the 18th century edifices of the Royal Exchange and Bank of London with modern upstart skyscrapers looming behind, in the Capital of Britannia, England, Britain and in some senses the global centre of money laundering

Is it good news in Syria? Good to see Assad defeated, but not sure Al Qaeda successors will bring freedom or more slavery and brutality... However it sounds like it's not just Islamists who have brought Assad down, it's just that they are grabbing the headlines... #VivaRojava

Not sure exactly, but they were three old oak trees, now just one left alive, one is a very short stump, the other a bit taller but hollow as result of being struck by lightning some years ago
