Ironbridge is one of our favourite edwardian /victorian areas to visit in England. We hope you all enjoy our personal guide to this stunning location. Let us know we love to hear from you.
I live in South Africa , emigrated in 1973. The last time I visited theU.K. was 2002 & I stayed with a cousin in Bridgenorth (I wanted to visit the Severn Valley Railway), however having trained as a mechanical engineer I was very aware of the significance of Ironbridge so I made a point of visiting the town. Parked at the erstwhile station walked over the bridge & visited the museums. A very worthwhile & moving time spent. Many thanks for the video, brought back fond memories.

I visit Ironbridge a lot. There is a large house near to the church, which was owned by Captain Webb, the Dawley mam, who was the first person to swim the English Channel. The house was converted into three or four separate dwellings. I could have purchased one in the eighties, something I’ve always regretted. On to your next video.

That’s great to hear! Thank you so much 😀 Planning a road trip around the U.K.?! We have recently returned from 10 days in the Scottish Highlands, so we’re working on those videos at the moment…. It was a stunning trip!
Looks super interesting. You've inspired me to visit there soon. Thanks!

Thanks Craig 2 more episodes to come but glad you want to visit!
I really appreciate your content. I’d love to visit your country and hope to someday ……. 🤔 but I’m pretty sure that I will have to work up until lunch on the day of my funeral (to much partying when I was younger), so your content gives me something to enjoy and possibly 🙏 actually visit someday. Bravo Zulu sir, thank you.
Great video , funny i said to my Mother look they have painted the bridge used to be a dark colour , I never knew that this was the original colour.

The school was the one a friend of mine attended when she was a child in the late 60’s. She was so pleased to see it at Blists Hill.
