Jackfield Tile Factory Museum 12.06.15
The museum is housed in a decorative tile factory building, the former works of Craven Dunnill and Company, that is still used to produce tiles, particularly encaustic tiles. It presents the history of the British decorative tile industry between 1840 and 1960, the period in which this factory and that of Maw & Co nearby played an important part in this industry. Jackfield is one of the oldest known ceramic production centres in Shropshire, a tradition dating back to the 16th century. The Thursfield family settled in Jackfield during the early 18th century; Jackfield wares are attributed to the family. Craven Dunnill gave up its Jackfield works in the early 1950s, moving to Bridgnorth, and the buildings were used by a firm making iron and bronze castings. In 1983, the Ironbridge Gorge Museum Trust purchased the works with the aid of an Architectural Heritage Fund grant. In 1989, tile manufacture restarted on the site and in 2001 Craven Dunnill took over this business again. The collections include William de Morgan and other historic tilers. See magnificent British tiles as the camera wanders through the original gas-lit trade showroom, fascinating galleries and period room settings.

Blists Hill Victorian Town - Ironbridge Gorge, Shropshire, UK
Stepping back in time to 1900 at Blists Hill Victorian Town - a fantastic open air museum that's great for families, one of a group of 10 museums in Ironbridge Gorge, near Telford in Shropshire. The heart of Victorian Britain, with mines, tile works and iron foundries, it has been recreated with a high street (including a sweet shop and working print shop), its own Victorian style pre-decimal money to spend, and houses to visit. One of my own childhood favourites, I visited with my six-year-old to discover it's as good as I remembered - and the staff there are full of fascinating facts as ever. Visit for more information.

A Look Into... | Coalport China museum
At Ironbridge I visited the China museum. It was my favorite museum because of my love for art and design. It was fantastic to be able to get to watch the artists there work on there projects, you could see closely the amount of detail that goes into each piece. I got a lot of footage and pictures so I compiled them into a video, unfortunately I didn't get any of them working because I was busy watching them instead.

Ironbridge is a village on the River Severn, at the heart of the Ironbridge Gorge, in Shropshire, England. It lies in the civil parish of The Gorge, in the borough of Telford and Wrekin. Ironbridge developed beside, and takes its name from, the famous Iron Bridge, a 30-metre (100 ft) cast iron bridge that was built across the river in 1779.
The area around Ironbridge is described by those promoting it as a tourist destination as the Birthplace of the Industrial Revolution. This description is based on the idea that Abraham Darby perfected the technique of smelting iron with coke, in Coalbrookdale, allowing much cheaper production of iron. However, the industrial revolution did not begin in one place, but in many.
Darby's iron smelting was but one small part of this generalised revolution and was soon superseded by the great iron-smelting areas. However, the bridge – being the first of its kind fabricated from cast iron, and one of the few which have survived to the present day – remains an important symbol representative of the dawn of the industrial age.
By the 19th century, Ironbridge had had many well-known visitors, including Benjamin Disraeli, but by the mid-20th century the settlements and industries of the gorge were in decline. In 1986, though, Ironbridge became part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site (which covers the wider Ironbridge Gorge area) and has become a major tourist attraction within Shropshire. Most industries in Ironbridge are now tourist-related; however, the Merrythought teddy bear company (established in 1930) is still manufacturing in Ironbridge and has a small museum there too. Amongst other things, the village is still host to a Post Office, pharmacy, various pubs, cafés and many successful small shops.
On Thursday 10 July 2003 The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh made a visit to Shropshire which included a visit to Ironbridge, and a walk over the bridge itself. An annual Coracle Regatta is held in August on the River Severn at Ironbridge, along with many other events throughout the year. This is mainly because the coracle-making family of Rogers lived in Ironbridge for several generations. Just outside Ironbridge in Coalbrookdale is the Ironbridge Institute, a partnership between the University of Birmingham and the Ironbridge Gorge Museum Trust offering postgraduate and professional development in heritage.
( Ironbridge - UK ) is well know as a tourist destination because of the variety of places you can enjoy while you are visiting Ironbridge . Through a series of videos we will try to show you recommended places to visit in Ironbridge - UK

1980: Blists Hill museum, Hay Inclined Plane, Ironbridge Gorge, Shropshire
1980.The boys visit Blists Hill Open Air Museum, now known as Blists Hill Victorian Town, past of the Ironbridge Museums sites in Shropshire. Here, we see derelict industrial machinery and buildings, before getting into the town and seeing some Victorian Shops. Along the canal are some replica Shropshire Tub Boats that used to carry goods along the canal. Next, a working steam powered coal pit wheel and cage, a walk along the canal which amazingly still seems to be in water before restoration, and arriving at the top of the Hay Inclined Plane. There are views of many other Victorian buildings around the museum site. During a visit in 2012, I noticed that a huge amount had changed.
