Bullo Pill Railway, Gloucestershire

Bullo Pill Railway was completed in 1810. It began as a tramway with carts drawn by horses to carry coal, mined in the Forest of Dean, to the River Severn, near Newnham. It was later coverted to a broad gauge railway steam line constructed and run by the Great Western railway. It closed in the 1960's.

Some trows were sea worthy and could export goods across the English Channel to France.

Bullo Pill was originally a small tidal creek, less than two miles south of Newnham, used for boat building. Later a dock basin was constructed with lock gates and wharfs to transport goods. In particular quarried stone and coal would be transported to the dock and loaded onto Severn trows, a wind driven cargo boat, which could lower its' mast on a pully to go under bridges.
