The book delves into the ancient practices of iron extraction and manufacturing in the Forest of Dean, tracing its significance from historical records and archaeological evidence of mining and forging activities in the region. Nicholls aims to provide a comprehensive overview of how iron was produced in earlier times, highlighting the natural resources utilized and the evolution of iron-making techniques through different periods. The opening of the book introduces the author’s motivation for documenting the historical significance of iron works in the Forest of Dean, especially in light of recent developments in the local iron industry during his time. Nicholls emphasizes the depth of his research, which encompasses contemporary records and local investigations. He begins with an exploration of the ancient mining sites and production facilities, focusing on the remnants left by primitive miners and the tools used in the iron-making process. The text sets up a detailed account of the methodologies employed by workers, their techniques over the centuries, and the socio-economic importance of iron manufacturing in the region.
