The Iron Bridge was built in 1781 at the dawn of the Industrial Revolution. It was designed by Thomas Prtichard and built by Abraham Darby III. It is made of cast iron, is 100 feet long and spans the River Severn at the heart of Ironbridge Gorge in the town of Ironbridge. We visited there as part of tour arranged by the conference we were attending.

This is Ironbridge Gorge looking east from the old cast iron bridge that crosses the River Severn at the town of Ironbridge. The bridge was built in 1781 at the dawn of the Industrial Revolution and is a major tourist attraction.
