World Heritage
Site of the
Ironbridge Gorge with its
ten museums.
Known as the Birthplace of Industry and with the world's first iron
bridge built in 1779 Ironbridge and the surrounding area of beautiful
countryside is one of England's most interesting destinations for
geographers, historians, geologists, and tourists. Have a day out,

shops, craft centres etc.
Not only heavy engineering but fine porcelain and magnificent tiles
were made here, Maw & Co were the greatest tile makers using a
wider range of decorative techniques and producing more tiles than
almost any other company in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Its
old offices and part of the works are now a
craft centre.
Craven Dunnill another great tile maker was located a few hundred yards
away and its superb victorian tile works is now a
tile museum.
Coalport china was made here in the gorge too the
works now another excellent museum.
