Ironbridge Gorge Museums

The Ironbridge & Tollhouse are among ten museums that collectively make up this World Heritage Site that celebrates the momentous story of Britain's Industrial Revolution. The great symbol of the success of the iron industry was the Iron Bridge, now at the heart of the small town that bears its name. Cast in 1779 at the Coalbrookdale Works of Abraham Darby III, people cam from all over the world to admire its construction - just as they do today. An exhibition about its history is in the original Tollhouse on the south side of the Iron Bridge.

The Coalport China Museum & Tar Tunnels are among ten museums that collectively make up this World Heritage Site that celebrates the momentous story of Britain's Industrial Revolution. The restored buildings of the old Coalport china works today house both National collections of the Caughley and Coalport china. There are also many other fine exhibitions and demonstration workshops. Of course, there is also a shop where you can purchase exquisite pieces of Coalport china - including some seconds lines.

The Broseley Pipeworks are one of a sequence of ten Museums and sites that celebrates the momentous story of Britain's Industrial Revolution. The Broseley Pipeworks Museum is a very special survivor as it contains the original equipment installed in the 1880s and used until the site was abandoned at the end of the 1950s. The resultant ‘time capsule’ remains the heart of this Museum, with other adjacent rooms used to explain the local clay tobacco pipe-making industry from its origins in the late 16th century through to 1960.
