St. Eata's churchyard is a peaceful resting place in a beautiful spot alongside the river with many interesting old carved gravestones.text/html2009-04-25T00:14:05+00:00https://www.geograph.ie/profile/35992Anji Carrier52.678271 -2.680924SJ5409 : St.Eata's Vicar's Door
https://www.geograph.ie/photo/1270270
The gothic Vicar's door at St. Eata's with its curious markings gouged into the sandstone seen on the right -
which turn out to be where archers sharpened their arrowheads.text/html2009-04-25T00:07:29+00:00https://www.geograph.ie/profile/35992Anji Carrier52.678093 -2.680626SJ5409 : St. Eata's West Door
https://www.geograph.ie/photo/1270264
St. Eata's West door inside the church porch, which leads straight
into the church and down onto a very well worn stone step
which bears witness to the centuries passing, having
accepted the feet of visitors and worshippers for hundreds
of years.
Well worth a look inside where a short history of the church building and its features is displayed.
The fine old oak door now has a smaller door cut within it
and is dated 1685. It features highly decorative forged
hinge facings and the original iron escutcheon on the right
hand side conceals a large keyhole which is decorated with
small heart motifs on each side hidden beneath the cover.text/html2009-04-24T23:01:58+00:00https://www.geograph.ie/profile/35992Anji Carrier52.678182 -2.680775SJ5409 : St. Eata's Norman Arch

The Norman arch with its freestanding columns of St. Eata's church, is on the North face at the base of the tower.text/html2009-04-24T22:35:02+00:00https://www.geograph.ie/profile/35992Anji Carrier52.678091 -2.680921SJ5409 : St. Eata's Church

https://www.geograph.ie/photo/1269963
Looking towards the old Atcham bridge, on the banks of the River Severn at Atcham. The river does flood here but it was also known as a low point for crossing.
The old bridge no longer carries traffic.text/html2009-04-09T17:56:33+00:00https://www.geograph.ie/profile/35992Anji Carrier52.627557 -2.481725SJ6703 : Another Ironbridge Cottage

Cottage next to the old Police Station in Waterloo Street, Ironbridge, showing the common local features of brick dentil eaves course and barred casement windows with gabled semi-dormers.text/html2009-04-09T17:36:05+00:00https://www.geograph.ie/profile/35992Anji Carrier52.627558 -2.481577SJ6703 : Old Police Station, Ironbridge
https://www.geograph.ie/photo/1243188
Near the end of Waterloo Street, the fine looking old Police Station and Court Room now housing an Indian restaurant can be seen on the left close to the road island.
The building is circa 1820 and GII listed.text/html2009-04-09T15:22:47+00:00https://www.geograph.ie/profile/35992Anji Carrier52.638664 -2.491600SJ6604 : Two Inns on Wellington Road, Coalbrookdale
https://www.geograph.ie/photo/1243002
Real Ale in the dale or French food? Take your pick....The Coalbrookdale Inn on the right or The Grove Inn on the left.
Looking up Wellington Road, near to the Museum of Iron and the Darby Furnace, both of these old Inns still offer accommodation.
The Coalbrookdale Inn is Grade II listed and has been serving real ale to the ironworkers of Coalbrookdale since the 1830s and now greets locals and visitors alike, known as 'The Dale' with a reputation as the real ale HQ of the gorge area.
The Grove Inn has a French restaurant and bistro in the basement called 'The Fat Frog'. The board outside says they do Pizza and Sunday lunches too.text/html2009-04-09T14:36:46+00:00https://www.geograph.ie/profile/35992Anji Carrier52.636785 -2.489362SJ6604 : Semi-detached period houses along Wellington Road, Coalbrookdale
https://www.geograph.ie/photo/1242933
This pair of semi-detached period houses are just in front of the Foundry Masters House [[1239710]] and starkly illustrate the need for Conservation Areas.
Not sure of the date of the establishment of the area here, so I wonder did this happen before the CA designation?
What a shame, I wish this 'modernisation' had not happened and could be corrected.text/html2009-04-09T14:19:57+00:00https://www.geograph.ie/profile/35992Anji Carrier52.636512 -2.490098SJ6604 : Coalbrookdale Aga-Rayburn works gates

Gates to the Coalbrookdale Aga-Rayburn works, Coalbrookdale, along Wellington Road.
A pity someone has bent them out of shape...looks like a bit of repair is needed.text/html2009-04-09T14:12:16+00:00https://www.geograph.ie/profile/35992Anji Carrier52.636511 -2.490394SJ6604 : Aga-Rayburn works, Coalbrookdale
https://www.geograph.ie/photo/1242891
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.text/html2009-04-09T13:00:51+00:00https://www.geograph.ie/profile/35992Anji Carrier52.631012 -2.494173SJ6603 : Dale End Court, Coalbrookdale
https://www.geograph.ie/photo/1242793
Dale End Court at the bottom of Dale Road, which is at the lower end of the Coalbrook dale where it meets the Ironbridge Gorge.
A complex of flats and apartments built at the end of the last century during 1999. The building looks to have been carefully designed to echo the local historical architectural features of the decorative dentil brickwork cornicing at the eaves and the simple barred casement windows, both seen frequently within this Ironbridge and Coalbrookdale conservation area.text/html2009-04-09T12:29:10+00:00https://www.geograph.ie/profile/35992Anji Carrier52.641817 -2.490010SJ6605 : Cottage No2 along Cherry Tree Hill, Coalbrookdale
https://www.geograph.ie/photo/1242735
Along Cherry Tree Hill.
The front view of the left hand cottage of this pair [[1242713]] gives a real feeling of history and sense of age, with only the side lamp (and the wheelie bin in shot) giving a reminder which century we are in.text/html2009-04-09T11:56:13+00:00https://www.geograph.ie/profile/35992Anji Carrier52.641908 -2.489715SJ6605 : Pair of Cottages on Cherry Tree Hill, Coalbrookdale
https://www.geograph.ie/photo/1242713
Two charming old cottages along Cherry Tree Hill, just near where the railway bridge crosses the lane. The cottages look very original and show a strong sense of times past. The small paned metal windows are interesting. Only details like the alarm system and wiring on the right hand side tell which century this photo is taken in.
These are in the extreme lower right hand corner of the grid square.
