Coalbrookdale Foundry
In the 19th century, Coalbrookdale was noted for its decorative ironwork. It is here (for example) that the gates of London’s Hyde Park were built. Other examples include the Coalbrookdale verandah at St John’s in Monmouth, Wales, and as far away as the Peacock Fountain in Christchurch, New Zealand. The blast furnaces were closed down, perhaps as early as the 1820s, but the foundries remained in use.
