Sited in Ironbridge on the banks of the River Severn this was once
a warehouse for goods produced by the Coalbrookdale Company.
The model of the Gorge as it was in the late eighteenth century
shows a hive of industrial activity. Displays show how the
development of industry was related to the geology of the area,
geography of the region , river valley and historical factors.
A short walk following the river through the town, along
pavements edged in cast iron, brings you to the Iron Bridge erected
in 1779 to celebrate the potential of iron.
