EDITORS COMMENTS
This awe-inspiring photograph captures the historic Ironbridge Gorge in Shropshire, a site that marked the beginning of the Industrial Revolution in 1708. Nestled among the lush greenery of this largely rural county, the industrial area is home to Coalbrookdale, where Abraham Darby established the first iron works. Towards the centre of the image, the iconic Iron Bridge stands proudly, the world's first cast-iron bridge, erected in 1778. The bridge, a testament to the ingenuity and innovation of the time, is a symbol of the significant advancements in engineering and manufacturing that were to come. In the foreground, the Buildwas Power Station, a source of electricity, adds a modern touch to the scene. This photograph, taken in February 2001, offers a unique perspective of the historical site, highlighting the harmonious coexistence of the past and the present in this fascinating corner of England.
