Geocache Description:

Ideal for geokids and geohounds, plenty of room for swaps. PLEASE COVER OVER WITH GRASS AND NOT LEAVE IN PLAIN VIEW!

This sixteenth century farmhouse has a beautiful gabled roof and interesting diagonal chimneys.
It was known as the ‘red house’ in 1799, reflecting the colour of the local sandstone from which it is built.
Derelict for some years, it was refurbished in 2005.
Situated on the Dramway Footpath.
Nowadays the northern half of the Dramway path passes through a rural landscape with quiet country lanes and farmland. But, in the nineteenth century, it was a noisy, busy industrial area, with dozens of coal mines surrounded by engine houses, smoking chimneys and railways, all working to deliver coal to the rapidly growing industries of Kingswood and Bristol.
Meanwhile, below ground there was another, equally busy, hidden world, with a complicated network of shafts and tunnels reaching down into the numerous layers of coal-bearing rocks that underlie the parishes of Kingswood and Westerleigh.
