Not volcanic A coal spoil heap rises above the greenery. Midsomer Norton and Radstock were important coalmining areas from the late 18th century, and production gradually increased with time up to 1900. However, the complicated local geology and nationalisation eventually led to the closure of all mining in September 1973. The heap is actually a SSSI and contains some interesting fossils, including the world's earliest known damselfly!

Bradford - Bournemouth express pounding through Midsomer Norton South station View northward, towards Bath: ex-Somerset & Dorset (Midland & LSW Joint) line, Bath (Green Park) - Templecombe - Bournemouth West. It is a Summer Saturday and the heavy 07.40 from Bradford (Forster Square) has reversed at Bath (dep. 14.50) and is due at Bournemouth West at 17.35. It needs two large locomotives to tackle the heavy gradients, here the long climb from Radstock up to Masbury. SR rebuilt Bulleid Light Pacific No. 34048 'Crediton' (built 11/46 as 21C148, rebuilt 3/59, withdrawn 3/66) is piloting BR Standard 5MT 4-6-0 No. 73019 (built 11/51, withdrawn 1/67).
