The Aga-Rayburn HQ and works next to the foundry at Coalbrookdale - the birthplace of my Rayburn!

The factory is located on one of the original foundry sites of Abraham Darby, where he first smelted iron ore with coke in 1709. There has been a foundry at this site for 3 centuries.

The Coalbrookdale Foundry is the Castings Centre of Aga-Rayburn, and around the last turn of the century in 2002 it was producing cast parts for 7,300 Aga and 4,500 Rayburn appliances a year.
