- Toll house stands at the foot of the Iron Bridge
- See the world's first iron bridge, built 1779
- Marks a turning point in iron construction history
The Iron Bridge Tollhouse sits right at the foot of the world-famous Iron Bridge, the first bridge of its kind, erected over the River Severn in 1779 and a landmark that changed how bridges, aqueducts and buildings were built thereafter. It's part of the wider Ironbridge Gorge group of museums telling the story of the Industrial Revolution, and it's open daily, making it an easy stop alongside other nearby sites. It suits anyone interested in industrial history or exploring the Gorge on foot. For a stay nearby, the River Severn at Ironbridge beach is just 0.3 miles away, Telford Central station is 4.2 miles off, and there are 35 bookable places to stay within 5 miles.
