In 1910 it was reported that "A commencement has been made this week for sinking a bore for a coal mine in Wyre Forest at spot about two and half miles from Bewdley and a mile and a half from Wyre Forest Station on the Great Western Railway". A "special train conveyed the necessary apparatus and machinery to the spot", which was described as being "within a few yards of the railway".<ref> The Engineer, August 26, 1910 on [https://www.gracesguide.co.uk Grace's Guide]</ref><br>
Despite spending almost a year drilling to a depth of over 1100ft and discovering several thin seams of coal, there is no record of any mining activity in the immediate area.<ref>[http://scans.bgs.ac.uk/sobi_scans/boreholes/270196/images/10537033.html Borehole records on the British Geological Society Survey web site]</ref>
