The Iron Bridge, crossing the River Severn in the village of the same name, represents so much more than just a bridge. When it opened in 1781, it was the first bridge to be made of iron in the world and has since become a symbol of the Industrial Revolution. The bridge is now a scheduled monument and makes up part of the UNESCO Ironbridge Gorge World Heritage Site.

Tricky cycling over the bridge because of all the walker - best to walk your bike

History, right there. First iron framed Bridge in the world. The birthplace of the industrial revolution and, for better or worse, the modern way of life
