Ironbridge - still going strong

Ironbridge, in Ironbridge Gorge near Coalbrookdale, contains the Ironbridge, from which the area's name is (obviously) derived. Spanning the River Severn, this was built in 1779 by Abraham Darby III and Thomas Pritchard. It was the first bridge in the world to be built completely of iron. It still stands and, although not especially large, is very high and quite a piece of art. The town is also very picturesque.

    Great start, I have nice memories of my time playing around underneath the Ironbridge. (~_~)
