The Iron Bridge, built in 1779, is an icon of the Industrial Revolution and a symbol of Britain's achievements during that period. But the bridge doesn't stand in isolation - the whole area contains numerous sites important in industrial history. This book places this spectacular and elegant feat of engineering in its archaeological and landscape setting and also presents the important human context - the individuals and communities who made it all work.
