Ironbridge

Included as one of the first UK World Heritage Sites in 1986, the clue is in the name when it comes to Ironbridge Gorge. This was the place – a dramatic wooded ravine created by the River Severn – where the first cast-iron bridge was built in 1779.

Ironbridge, the town that sprang up beside the elegant River Severn crossing, became the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution.

This area, overflowing with natural resources such as coal, iron ore and limestone were all useful to the fledgling industries of the time.

Throughout the 18th century the gorge was a hotbed of production and manufacture, from smelting lead and blowing glass to making parts for steam engines and railway wagons.

However, the lack of a bridge over the Severn was a continual problem. The ferries that carried raw materials across the river were unable to operate whenever it was in spate or too low.

Ironworks owner Abraham Darby III was duly commissioned to build a bridge. The result was an immediate success. And when the structure remained solidly in place during the terrible Severn floods of 1795, it served as Darby’s cast-iron guarantee to customers as to the efficacy of his product.

After the recent header change I couldn't let a chance go begging today. It's about ten minutes out of my way about once per fortnight. I foresee a lot of visits between now and publication. 😂

I did a thing... so photography is one of my all-time passions, but with work and life, i never get a chance to take photos like this.

Ironbridge gorge, from the Bridge, wintertime in England can be really beautiful, however grim it feels, cold, damp, then dry and icy, but beautiful. The coricle iron statue shows how the river was navigated and crossed. They still build these now here and have loads of info in the museum. Various museums about local life the bridge, the iron works, tiles, coricle and history all around the local area. Even glimpsed some blue sky! #staycation #uk #ironbridge #England #OutdoorAdventures #BestOfBritish (at Ironbridge River Severn) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoSyvbkMtl5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A selection of photos and video clips from my recent visit to Blists Hill Victorian Town for their Heavy Horse Weekend, which saw a selection of wagons pulled by magnificent shire horses traversing the site, in addition to a horse bus giving rides to visitors, a wagon tyring demonstration, and opportunities to pet and guid the shire horses.
