About the Trust
Founded in 1967, the Ironbridge Gorge Museum Trust grew out of an effort to save the industrial remains of the Gorge from disappearing under scrub and demolition. It went on to run ten museums along a two-mile stretch of the Severn, from Blists Hill Victorian Town to the Coalport China Museum and the Museum of the Gorge.
