Ironbridge, Telford
Ironbridge, over the River Severn, in Telford, built 1777-1779 and a remarkable feat of engineering at the time, stands as a symbol of Britain's industrial age. Because, in recent times, the river banks have been moving closer together, threatening to destabilize the bridge, a slab of concrete has been laid to keep them apart.
