The existing infrastructure dates from the time the mine was due to be promoted as a tourist attraction. The right to the gale is owned by the Wright family, the land shown is owned by the Forestry Commission and leased to them. The Commission has indicated that subject to us obtaining the appropriate planning permission from Herefordshire County Council, they will probably agree to allow us extend the railway in the mine area to cover the trackbed up to the bridge and again up to the limit of their land.
