    Visited several of the Ironbridge museums this weekend, and thought these photos would be of interest. Well worth a visit, especially buying the passport ticket which enables you to visit all the attractions as many times as you like within a year - combining a museum or two with a visit to the SVR is definitely on the cards

    I think these two started off looking similar to Coalbrookdale No 5 but were rebuilt by Sentinel

    The inclined plane carried these tub boats - at either end of the inclined plane they would be floated off/on flat trucks

    Thanks for posting the photos.

    Love going to Ironbridge and the related museums. The sweet shop at Blists Hill is fabulous.

    If you like the sweet shop, try the chippy! mmmm.

    Edit: have you seen the size of the fish in the canal? They fight the ducks for bread!
