Not far from the birthplace of industry which is home to the famous Ironbridge this beautiful park can be found.
"The world's first cast iron bridge was built over the River Severn at Coalbrookdale in 1779. Not only iron founders and industrial spies flocked to see this wondrous bridge, but also artists and travellers. The Bridge had a far reaching impact: on local society and the economy, on bridge design and on the use of cast iron in building. The story of the bridge's conservation begins in 1784 with reports of cracks in the Southern abutments, and is brought up to date with the English Heritage sponsored work of 1999."

Ironbridge is a lovely place.
I suppose you've been to the Black Country Nuseum there (odd place to have it really), I remember the pork pies they sold there were probably the nicest I've ever had.
What a lovely place! Your photos of the crocuses are really beautiful.
We never got to see Ironbridge though we rode past the turn off - couldn't stop. I did not know of the garden only the industrial heritage.
Brilliant crocuses.
Those three photos are wonderful.
My favourite is the first one.
Bear((( )))
Crushed - I love Ironbridge too. I went to the school at the top of the hill, it brings back so many memories!
I have never managed to get to the Black Country Museum even though it is on my list of places to visit. How bad is that???!!!
Dragonstar - Glad you like them :-)
Aileni - It is on the embankment next to the river severn!
Bear - That is my favourite too ;-)
