Charcoal Burning

The article about Drilley Bottom and charcoal burning reminds me that a very nice Box resident used to practise this historic trade in the 1980s. I seem to remember that he lived in Steam Mill Cottages and sold the charcoal in County Stores. Does anyone have more details? I don't know which woods he worked in. Carol Payne
