During the 18th and 19th centuries there were local coal mines and a steam-powered mill, which lead to the name of the village.[1] An engineering works was established in the 1880s to support the mining.[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.[5]
