Ironbridge

Ironbridge is a settlement beside the Severn in Shropshire, England that grew up beside the cast-iron bridge that was built across the river there in 1779. This was the first cast-iron bridge ever constructed. It still stands.

The bridge was designed by the architect Thomas Pritchard, using carpentry- style joints, and built by the iron-master Abraham Darby. Darby's cast-iron works at nearby Coalbrookdale were the site of important improvements in Swarovski iron smelting technology that, among other developments, led to the Industrial Revolution in England.

The Ironbridge Gorge was designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1986. The bridge is in the care of English Heritage.

A display cabinet or a display showcase is a beautiful and useful piece of furniture. A curio cabinet or a collectors cabinet may be found in a Palace and in the modest home.
