Middle Forge Junction

The junction is where the Lydney to Parkend (High Level) and Lydney to Norchard (Low Level) lines meet.

The name Middle Forge was chosen because the junction is close to one of three Forges in valley of the River Lyd.

Middle Forge is 450 yards (410 m) away from Norchard and consists of a three lever ground frame locked by a Token.

[1][2][3] The Norchard Low-Level outer home is located on the Lydney Town side of the junction and is interlocked with the ground frame.

The signal is the longest pull from Norchard 'box and is worked from lever No.
