Radstock history
Radstock has been settled since the Iron Age. The town was known as Stoche at the time of the Domesday Book of 1086. The rad part of the name is believed to relate to red; the soil locally is reddish marl. The last passenger train services in Radstock closed in 1966.
Coal mining
In 1763, coal was discovered in Radstock and mining began in the area. In 1896 the pits were owned by the Trustee of Frances, late Countess of Waldegrave. The complex geology and narrow seams made the coal extraction difficult. Three underground explosions, in 1893, 1895 and 1908, were the first attributable solely to airborne coal dust.
