Abstract
Coalport China Works, Shropshire; A Comparative Study of the Premises and the Backgr...
R S Edmundson
122 - 145
Porcelain was made at Coalport, on the banks of the River Severn in Shropshire, from 1876 until 1926. Part of the works premises now forms the Coalport China Works Museum of the Ironbridge Gorge Museum Trust. This paper traces the history of the premises and relates the surviving buildings and sites to this history.
Jackfield Decorative Tiles in Use
A T Herbert
146 - 152
This paper looks at the development of the decorative tile industry in the 19th and 20th centuries, focusing on two important manufacturers, Maw & Company and Craven Dunnill & Company, both of Jackfield in the Ironbridge Gorge. Tiles from Jackfield were applied to a variety of buildings and were exported to many different countries. A study of an album of large record photographs of tiling work, held at the Ironbridge Gorge Museum, identified twenty-three buildings, of which fourteen were known to have survived at least in part.

Coalport Bridge; A Study in Historical Interpretation
Barrie Trinder
153 - 157
The preservation of industrial monuments can be justified on the grounds that a particular monument has an educational function, or potential for excavation. This article suggests that in addition a surviving monument continually poses questions about its own past, and about wider historical issues. As an example, understanding of the Coalport Bridge has increased over the last twelve years, not just because new documentary sources have come to light, but because it has been possible to use the evidence of the structure itself to test the authenticity of other sources.
Underground in the Ironbridge Gorge
Ivor J Brown
158 - 169
This article brings together some of the results of over twenty years' underground research in the Ironbridge Gorge by the author and other members of the Shropshire Mining Club. The local geology is outlined and a series of workings and mines that have been explored are presented, including sites where limestone, fuller's earth, ironstone, sandstone, coal and clay were extracted. One site, the 'Tar Tunnel', was rediscovered by the author in 1964 and has since been opened up to visitors. However, the dangers involved in exploring underground workings are emphasised. LD
The Construction of the Blists Hill Ironworks
S B Smith
170 - 178
The Ironbridge Gorge Museum is to reconstruct and operate a wrought iron manufactory at its Blists Hill Museum. This paper presents the nature of the intended reconstruction and discusses the manning and material requirements for its operation. Most of the equipment and the expertise for the wrought ironworks came from Thomas Walmsley and Sons Limited, Atlas Forge, Bolton, the last firm in the world to make wrought iron.
Ironbridge; The First Ten Years
Neil Cossons
179 - 186
This paper reviews the development of the Ironbridge Gorge Museum Trust during the ten years following its establishment, as well as the nature of its finance and management and some of its aims and aspirations for the future.
Excavations at the Allensford Blast Furnace, Northumberland, NZ 079503
Stafford M Linsley
193 - 198
Note on the findings of excavations in 1977 and 1978 at the site of the late 17th-century Allensford Blast Furnace. Excavation was to continue in 1979 and 1980. Consolidation of the exposed structures, including a calcining kiln, was also to be undertaken and the site was to be proposed as a Scheduled Ancient Monument. LD
