Ironbridge, Shropshire
A lovely place for a cosy crime murder mystery!
Ironbridge is a riverside village at the heart of the Ironbridge Gorge. It’s known for its history and as ; the valley of invention’.
The area around Ironbridge is described as the “Birthplace of the Industrial Revolution”. This description is based on the idea that Abraham Darby perfected the technique of smelting iron with coke, in Coalbrookdale, allowing much cheaper production of iron.
