Darby Houses
Time to explore how ‘the other half’ lived during the 18th & 19th centuries at the Darby Family homes – Rosehill House and Dale House.
Dynasty of Ironfounders – the homes that the Darbys built
Take the short walk from Coalbrookdale Museum of Iron up the hill to the beautiful Darby Houses, former homes to the Darby family. Rosehill House, built in 1738, and Dale House, built in 1717, sit on the hillside overlooking Coalbrookdale. Wander around Rosehill House as if it’s 1850 and get a glimpse of an Industrialist’s life.
