The story of the Iron Bridge - Part 2
Successful construction of the Iron Bridge spanning the Severn Gorge, Shropshire, UK was a milestone in the early industrial revolution which shaped the modern world. The first bridge to use wrought iron rather than wood and stone, it created challenges for the visionary men who designed and built it.
David de Haan, Direct of the Ironbridge Trust 1998-2012 tells the story.
