Telford may be a new town, but it also contains a World Heritage Site, and the famous Ironbridge Gorge Museum. It is an area renowned for pioneering and innovations from Darby's furnace, and the first railway engine to the discovery of digitalis and the invention of electric propulsion. "... this is no stuffy history text book ... The captions capture the spirit of a bygone era and the text is informative without being boring." Telford Journal
