Today, the site is a timber yard or sawmill. Very little of the original colliery infrastructure remains. A red brick building, possibly the old mine workshops, still stands. A bridge that once spanned the valley to carry mine waste to tips on the opposite side is now gone, though the overgrown spoil dumps remain visible.

Its noted that in 1853 “A Mr. Hiram Williams, of 61 Moorgate St., London, was appointed engineer, manager and secretary”. There is more about Swansea born Hiram Williams (1816-1872) at https://www.researchgate.net/publication/332921173_Native_talent_-_a_Williams_family_of_early_Victorian_Swansea

Opened in 1850, this colliery operated for over a century before closing in 1959. Initially, coal was worked only to the water table for the first 60 years. A major turning point came in the early 1900s when the Lydney and Crump Meadow Colliery Company took control. At this time, production increased significantly, aided by water drainage from nearby Cannop Colliery. As nearby collieries such as Crump Meadow and Pludd’s closed, many of their miners transferred here.
The colliery experienced multiple incidents of spontaneous combustion fires, leading to temporary halts in operation until the fires could be extinguished. A significant disaster occurred in 1949 when an inundation from the neighbouring East Slade Pit trapped five men, who eventually escaped through Pludd’s Colliery.
According to local legend, the pit was originally named after two orphans—Arthur and Edward—possibly referring to the nearby Arthur & Edward Colliery
