1.
Coalbrookdale: It was here in 1709 that the Quaker Abraham Darby I developed
the coke iron production technique which began the great 18thC iron
revolution. There still remains a high concentration of 18thC and 19thC dwellings, warehouses and public buildings in Coalbrookdale.
2.
Ironbridge: The community draws its name from the famous Iron Bridge erected
in 1779 by Abraham Darby III. At the eastern end of Ironbridge stand the
remains of two 18thC blast furnaces, the Bedlam Furnaces, built in
1757.
3.
Hay Brook Valley: South of Madeley lies a large open-air museum which
incorporates the remains of the former Blists Hill blast furnaces and Blists
Hill brick and tile works. Also of importance is the Hay
Inclined Plane which connected the Shropshire Canal to the Coalport Canal,
which in turn linked with the River Severn.
4.
Jackfield: This small community on the south bank of the River Severn was
important for navigation, coal mining, clay production, and the manufacture
of decorative tiles.
5.
Coalport: Located at the eastern end of the site and on the north bank of
the River Severn, industrialisation came to Coalport in the late 18thC and is remembered principally for the Coalport China Works.
