Abstract
The leading example of Britain's increasing interest in her industrial heritage is the Ironbridge Gorge Museum, in Shropshire, 150 miles northwest of London. The museum complex covers six square miles along the Severn River and includes an iron museum, china works, a reconstructed Victorian town and the 18th-century iron bridge that gives the gorge its name. A guide to the highlights of the museum complex is given. These highlights include - the Coalbrookdale Museum of Iron, Coalport China Works Museum, Blists Hill Open Air Museum (a 42-acre reconstruction of a working Victorian village) and Rosehill, the residence of the Darby family who were early industrialists. A trip to these museums are highly recommended for those who want a good understanding of the Industrial Revolution, its inventions, commerce and people.
