Coleford
Coleford is a little market town in the west of the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire, England, 2 miles (3.2 kilometres) eastern of the Welsh boundary and also near to the Wye Valley. It is the administrative centre of the Forest of Dean district. The combined population of both electoral wards in Coleford at the 2011 census was 8,359. Coleford adjusted much more capably to the mine closures of the 1950s than its neighbor Cinderford. Today its prime place in the heart of the Forest makes it popular with pedestrians as well as cyclists, and also the neighborhood council has made moves to motivate additional vacationers. The huge manufacturing facility in the community, initially called Carters, then Beechams, then GlaxoSmithKline, is now owned by the Japanese company Suntory. It is the single manufacturing facility for Ribena and also Lucozade. One old structure that has survived is the former goods shed for the defunct railway line to Monmouth; it is now the Coleford GWR Museum. SPP Pumps Ltd, Britain's leading pump producer also has their primary UK manufacturing site at Coleford which has over 300 people on site. The factory generally caters to the Industrial as well as offshore firefighting oil and gas markets along with the UK metropolitan water market.
