Had an afternoon and early evening yesterday in Ironbridge. Amazing.

I live in South Africa , emigrated in 1973. The last time I visited theU.K. was 2002 & I stayed with a cousin in Bridgenorth (I wanted to visit the Severn Valley Railway), however having trained as a mechanical engineer I was very aware of the significance of Ironbridge so I made a point of visiting the town. Parked at the erstwhile station walked over the bridge & visited the museums. A very worthwhile & moving time spent. Many thanks for the video, brought back fond memories.

[@MemorySeekers]

Thank you for sharing your memories of Ironbridge. It is quite a special place, glad it brought back those fond memories!

I visit Ironbridge a lot. There is a large house near to the church, which was owned by Captain Webb, the Dawley mam, who was the first person to swim the English Channel. The house was converted into three or four separate dwellings. I could have purchased one in the eighties, something I’ve always regretted. On to your next video.

[@MemorySeekers]

Most interesting information Mary, had no idea about Captain Webb!

I really like your videos. Thank you. They are most helpful for holiday planning and for general education and entertainment

[@MemorySeekers]

That’s great to hear! Thank you so much 😀 Planning a road trip around the U.K.?! We have recently returned from 10 days in the Scottish Highlands, so we’re working on those videos at the moment…. It was a stunning trip!

[@craigjtodd]

Looks super interesting. You've inspired me to visit there soon. Thanks!

[@MemorySeekers]

Thanks Craig 2 more episodes to come but glad you want to visit!

[@paddyneill1964]

I really appreciate your content. I’d love to visit your country and hope to someday ……. 🤔 but I’m pretty sure that I will have to work up until lunch on the day of my funeral (to much partying when I was younger), so your content gives me something to enjoy and possibly 🙏 actually visit someday. Bravo Zulu sir, thank you.

[@madamlakwatsera5674]

[@AvaT42]

[@MemorySeekers]

Yeah, incredible. There is so much history to explore in this part of England. Have you ever visited?

[@shaunmckenna1923]

Great video , funny i said to my Mother look they have painted the bridge used to be a dark colour , I never knew that this was the original colour.

[@MemorySeekers]

I thought the same, always remember it being black I think it was as a child.

[@atekle1382]

[@Sunshine123x]

Blist hill is amazing x

[@MemorySeekers]

We have been a few times, cannot get enough of the Victorian era and it is such a cool place to immerse yourself in.

[@manchestertart5614]

The school was the one a friend of mine attended when she was a child in the late 60’s. She was so pleased to see it at Blists Hill.
