Coalbrookdale Museum of Iron, Industrial heritage museum in The Gorge, England
The museum exhibits domestic ironwork, industrial machinery, and historical artifacts that demonstrate the evolution of iron manufacturing in Coalbrookdale through centuries.
Abraham Darby I revolutionized iron production in 1709 at the Old Furnace by successfully smelting iron using coke instead of traditional charcoal.
The museum presents decorative cast iron pieces from international exhibitions, including the Boy and Swan Fountain from the Great Exhibition of 1851.
The facility opens Wednesday through Sunday, offering free parking for PASS PLUS holders and providing audio guides for enhanced visitor experience.
Visitors can examine the preserved Old Furnace, a Grade I listed structure that received the Engineering Heritage Award in 2014.
