The Ironbridge Gorge Museum Trust
The Ironbridge Gorge Museum Trust is a heritage conservation and education charity. We are home to 36 listed buildings across 10 sites which include some of the most important industrial heritage in the world. As well as hosting visitors and events we deliver award winning workshops. The 10 Ironbridge Gorge Museums are all set in historic buildings comprising of Blists Hill Victorian Town, Coalbrookdale Museum of Iron, Darby Houses, Enginuity, Coalport China Museum, Jackfield Tile Museum, Museum of the Gorge, Broseley Pipeworks, Tar Tunnel and the Iron Bridge and Tollhouse. Our visitors experience authentic Victorian life at Blists Hill Victorian Town, the stunning open air museum that tells the story of the people of Shropshire during the Industrial Revolution. Visit Coalbrookdale to discover the often hidden history behind Victorian invention and the role critical role Coalbrookdale iron played in changing the course of the world. At Jackfield Tile Museum and Coalport China Museum visitors discover the creativity of the Ironbridge Gorge throughout history. Following 50 years of intense redevelopment, consolidation and restoration the Trust’s portfolio of heritage assets has grown substantially and in 2017 we celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Ironbridge Gorge Museum Trust. Today we still have the same commitment to preserving the industrial history of this region and as a charity we have a number of ways you can support us including our Fund for the Future.
