Ironbridge Gorge Museums
Description
“The Ironbridge Gorge Museum Trust was established in 1967 to preserve and interpret
the remains of the Industrial Revolution in the six square miles of the Ironbridge Gorge.”
“The designation of the Ironbridge Gorge as a World Heritage Site recognised the area’s
unique contribution to the birth of the Industrial Revolution in the 18th century, the impact
of which was felt across the world.” (www.ironbridge.org.uk)
