"It was Abraham Darby who developed the smelting of pig iron with a higher yield of strength by using a special local coal which burned at greater temperatures in nearby Coalbrookdale that allowed the construction of the worlds first bridge made from iron to be constructed. He is the father of the industrial revolution. The name of the town Ironbridge comes from this..." Yeahhhh xx | |||

"Iron bridge is just down the road from me, and I’ve never been there" Theres a hell of a good pub crawl starting from the museum end, until you cross over to the Woodbridge and go back down the other side- something like 16 pubs, many of them with a view of the river and gorge | |||

Although around the same time Boulton and Watt were already building steam engines, industrialisation had already begun the first Mills had been built and people were moving from rural areas to the growing industrialised towns. Abraham Derby merely improved the process for manufacturing iron, which already had a history of hundreds of years. The techniques used to build the Bridge were historic carpenters methods really, and The Gorge was already an industrial base due to its nearby iron ore and coal deposits and its strategic position on the River Severn which was a major transit route at the time... BTW I recall that Darby used not coal for smelting. Opposite the Bridge was an old coaching Inn, The Tontine, on the outside wall was marked every major flood water level dating back to before the bridge was erected in 1779... There were many fathers of the industrial revolution. I rather miss standing on Ironbridge and watching coracles on the river... | |||
