Darby Houses, Historic museum complex in Telford and Wrekin, England.
The Darby Houses consist of two residences, Rosehill House from 1738 and Dale House from 1717, positioned on a hillside overlooking Coalbrookdale valley.
These houses belonged to the influential Darby family who revolutionized iron production methods in Britain during the early stages of the Industrial Revolution.
The interior of both houses contains original furnishings, including Abraham Darby III's desk and family artifacts that reflect 18th-century industrial leadership.
Visitors can purchase entrance tickets at the Coalbrookdale Museum of Iron and explore the houses during specific opening times from November to December 2024.
Each floor of the houses provides different views across Coalbrookdale, where the first successful use of coke in iron smelting took place.
