Coalbrookdale
Coalbrookdale is a village in the Ironbridge Gorge in Shropshire, England. This is where Abraham Darby rebuilt an existing damaged furnace which he operated with coke as his fuel for smelting iron.
Abraham Darby founded his company in 1709. Using coke he produced iron of superior quality as it contained fewer impurities than when using coal. This discovery was a major factor in the growing industrialisation of Britain, which was to become known as the Industrial Revolution.
The company's main business was producing cast-iron goods, from pots and pans, rails for railways, steam engine cylinders, gates, benches, garden urns. In the 19th century, Coalbrookdale was noted for it's decorative ironwork.
