About

Ironbridge Gorge ward encompasses the steep, wooded valley of the River Severn where the world's first iron bridge was constructed in 1779. The area is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, centred on the historic settlement of Ironbridge itself. The geography is defined by the river and the dramatic slopes that rise from it, which contain remnants of the early Industrial Revolution like old mine workings and kilns.

The ward includes the communities of Coalbrookdale and Jackfield, which were central to the iron and ceramic industries. Museums and preserved industrial sites, such as the Blists Hill Victorian Town, detail the area's pivotal role. The landscape is a mix of woodland, former industrial land, and residential areas, all tightly contained within the gorge.
