Description
View of the iron bridge over the river Severn, Coalbrook Dale, Shropshire, 19th century. The development of coke smelting in Coalbrookdale by Abraham Darby I and his family in the 18th century revolutionised the production of iron and helped fuel the Industrial Revolution. This bridge was the first in the world to use cast-iron structurally and was built because ferries on the River Severn had become busy and expensive. It was designed by Thomas Farnolls Pritchard and built by Abraham Darby III. (Photo by The Print Collector/Print Collector/Getty Images)
