At Coalport, some of the world's most beautiful porcelain was once made on the banks of the River Severn. The remains of the old works now form the Coalport China Museum, demonstration workshops and a delightful shop, as well as an adjacent restaurant, and Youth Hostel. From here you may stroll along part of the Coalport Canal close by, don a hard hat and walk underground in the Tar Tunnel, an amazing source of natural bitumen discovered 200 years ago.

A short drive from Ironbridge, in the small town of Broseley, the Clay Tobacco Pipe Museum is a preserved time capsule of this ancient local industry.

Take your time and enjoy your visit with our special
Ironbridge Passport

The jewel in the crown is Blists Hill, where you can discover and enjoy a complete working Victorian Town. You can spend half a day here talking to the nineteenth-century townpeople as they go about their business, making candles, casting iron, baking bread, or lacing corsets!

And don't forget to change your twentieth-century money into Victorian token coins to spend in the shops or buy a pint of real beer in the New Inn.

The passport ticket represents outstanding value and substantial savings on tickets to the individual Museums.
It admits you to each Museum once and for 1998 allows half-price re-entry to Blists Hill.

Remember, the Ironbridge Passport saves you money and has no time limit.
