2010 marks the centenary of the birth of L.T.C. (“Tom”) Rolt, and various special events to commemorate this notable anniversary are being organised by the Talyllyn Railway, the Association for Industrial Archaeology and others throughout the year.
Tom Rolt had close links with the Ironbridge Gorge, and was present at Dawley Development Corporation’s meeting on industrial archaeology held at Priorslee Hall on 3rd February 1967, which was the first of a series of meetings which ultimately led to the setting up of the Ironbridge Gorge Museum Trust.
