The world's first cast iron bridge, designed by Thomas Pritchard in 1775 and built by Abraham Darby III (1777-1779) over the River Severn at Coalbrookdale, Shropshire, England as a showcase for the skills of the Coalbrookdale Ironmasters.
The Ironbridge Gorge is a World Heritage Site.
BLR Engineering Services has undertaken a project to produce a Computer 3D Model in order to preserve the essence of the original construction and make available to all.
The accuracy of the model will no doubt be questioned by the purists, however this study is intended to show the principle of the design and construction, but in no way professes to be a finite study.
