Coalbrookdale is a village in Shropshire, England, that played a pivotal role in the Industrial Revolution. It is situated in the Ironbridge Gorge by the River Severn and is known as the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution.
In 1709, Abraham Darby I successfully used coke to smelt iron ore at his furnace in Coalbrookdale, revolutionizing iron production. This technological breakthrough led to rapid industrialization and transformed the area into a crucial center of iron production.
The village features several historical industrial sites, including the Coalbrookdale Museum of Iron and the restored Old Furnace. The area is part of the Ironbridge Gorge UNESCO World Heritage Site, which recognizes its significant contribution to industrial heritage and technological innovation.
