Ironbridge
Ironbridge is a settlement on the River Severn, at the heart of the Ironbridge Gorge Shropshire, England. It lies in the parish of The Gorge, in what is now called the borough of Telford and Wrekin - a New Town[citation needed], which began to be "built" 40 years ago. 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 there in 1779.
The Iron Bridge
The Iron Bridge crosses the River Severn at the Ironbridge Gorge, by the village of Ironbridge, in Shropshire, England. It was the first arch bridge in the world to be made out of cast iron, a material which was previously far too expensive to use for large structures. However, a new blast furnace nearby lowered the cost and so encouraged local engineers and architects to solve a long-standing problem of a crossing over the river.
