- Former Severn Warehouse building housing the museum
- Tells story of goods travelling from Coalbrookdale worldwide
- Nearby Iron Bridge Toll House open daily
The Museum of the Gorge occupies the former Severn Warehouse, once used to send goods made in Coalbrookdale out across the country and around the world, telling the story of this pioneering industrial landscape. It sits beside the Iron Bridge Toll House, which is open daily at the foot of the famous bridge. Please note the museum itself is currently closed for essential conservation works, though other nearby Ironbridge Gorge sites remain open. It suits visitors interested in industrial heritage as part of a wider day exploring the Gorge. The site lies right on the River Severn at Ironbridge beach, with 35 bookable places to stay within 5 miles and Telford Central station 4.2 miles away for those planning a stay nearby.
