Steam Mills

Steam Mills is a village in the Forest of Dean, west Gloucestershire, England.

During the 18th and 19th centuries there were local coal mines and a steam-powered mill, which lead to the name of the village.

[2] Today the village has an industrial park for businesses (including Freeminers Brewery, named after the Forest of Dean custom of free-mining[3]), a petrol filling station and a carpet shop.

The village is home to Steam Mills Primary School[4] designed by architect Alfred Smith.

The 5 acres (2.0 ha) lake is used for angling with Carp, Bream and Brown Trout being caught.
