Iron Bridge

The Iron Bridge was built in 1781 at the dawn of the Industrial Revolution. It was designed by Thomas Prtichard and built by Abraham Darby III. It is made of cast iron, is 100 feet long and spans the River Severn at the heart of Ironbridge Gorge in the town of Ironbridge. We visited there as part of tour arranged by the conference we were attending.

The conference tour guide clearly new what to show you in Shropshire. two or three years ago this bridge was showing its age and was painted grey. Now the Ironbridge has been repaired and painted with the same paint that has been used to maintain the Forth Rail bridge.
So glad that you have enjoyed your Shropshire trip Ron
