The world's first cast iron bridge - it was cast in 1779 and opened on New Year's Day 1781.<br />
<br />
Being the first of its kind, the construction had no precedent - the method chosen to create the structure was based on carpentry. Each piece of the frame was cast separately and slotted into place using mortise and tenon and blind dovetail joints.<br />
All parts of the bridge were cast locally in the furnaces and metal works in the Ironbridge/Coalbrokdale area.</p>

Built in 1896 by Andrew Barclay 'Kinlet' is a 0-6-0ST that worked originally at the Kinlet Collery nr. Highley but was sold to H.S Pitt & Co at Pensnett near Dudley in 1938. The loco worked on the extensive rail network of the Companies site until 1966 when it was replaced by a Rushtons diesel loco.<br />
<br />
The loco has been at Blists Hill for a number of years - I don't think it is operational.</p>

Blists Hill Industrial Museum, Ironbridge Shropshire UK.<br />
<br />
The iron frame of this building was rescued from Woolwich Dockyard and dates from 1815. The one sided building was essential for hot metal working.<br />
<br />
Much of the equipment in the works came from Thomas Walmsley's Atlas Works in Bolton Lancashire, which closed in 1976 and was one of the last commercial ironworks in the world.</p>

<p> The world's first iron bridge was erected over the River Severn in Shropshire in 1779. This pioneering structure marked a turning point in English design and engineering; after it was built, cast iron came to be widely used in the construction of bridges, aqueducts and buildings.</p>

<p>Taking the opportunity, whilst the fire risk on the mainline remains in place, to upload an older capture I never got round to doing.<br />
<br />
Ex LMS Royal Scot Class 7P no 46100 Royal Scot crossing the Iron Bridge carrying the line over the River Aire at Brotherton at the head of The White Rose. <br />
<br />
The remaining cooling towers of the then decommissioned coal fired power station in Ferrybridge, which the line skirts around, can be seen in the background. Now long gone of course.<br />
<br />
This was the 1Z61 08:30 Crewe to York, promoted by Saphos Trains.<br />
<br />
Looking back, the loco must have stopped for water further down the line in Milford sidings since I also copped it at Little Fenton.</p>
