Pump bob - Foxes Bridge Colliery near Cinderford This inverted tee bob was undoubtedly associated with a steam pumping engine for draining this colliery and has been retained on site on a specially made concrete pad. Unfortunately it is being reclaimed by nature and is fairly well hidden although there is a well established path to it. It took me a while of hunting to find it from the nearby cycle trail.
