This is in the iron mine Old Ham in the Forest of Dean. I don't know any history I'm afraid except that most of the rails are original but to complete the run several were taken from another old mine near Drybrook.
The mine is gated and locked and Railway Churn is the lowest point that can safely be accessed without some means of testing the air.
This is called the Rabbit Run, it's a collapsed level that you have to crawl through on the way to Railway Churn.
The Sword of Damocles. It's a huge rock some 12ft high hanging out of the ceiling and held up by the matchstick that you can see.
