Iron Bridge Iron Bridge. Photo: Iron bridge at night. Notice how the bridge and its reflection make a perfect circle. The Iron Bridge, spanning the Severn river in Shropshire, England, isnt a particularly large or ornate bridge, but it does have something that made it unique: its the first bridge made completely out of cast iron. In the 18th century, Shropshire was rich in iron and coal - indeed, there were more iron factories within two-mile radius of the town than any other city in the world. It was also there that iron was first smelt with coke. So it was only natural that the bridge would be made out of iron, a stronger alternative to wood. (Photo of the railing: Architect Thomas Farnolls Pritchard proposed a single arch bridge that would let boats pass underneath, but he died before the bridge was built. The construction of the Iron Bridge was carried out by a local master ironworker named Abraham Darby III. About 400 tons (363 tonnes) of cast iron was used, with about 800 separate castings. The Iron Bridge has 5 arch ribs, each cast in two halves. It only took three months to put the parts together (which they did using screws instead of bolts!). The ease and speed of the Iron Bridges construction helped convince engineers of the versatility and strength of iron, and helped usher in the Industrial Revolution era. Darby, however, didnt fare so well: he severely underestimated the cost to build the bridge, and remained in debt for the rest of his life. (Source) 6.
