Yeah. There's more to see of the whole UK. You can visit some lovely places in the UK easily via train from London. London is a cool city, however, I do believe there is far more to see in the UK and England.
I lived in Coalbrookdale for over twenty years only moving there to do a course in industrial archaeology and history. The whole Ironbridge area is well worth a visit with much more to see than Steve's excellent video shows.
How novel to see a travel writer go to the area I was born! The countryside in that area is beautiful to walk in as well. Thank you for your work, Rick and co.!
Ah my old stomping grounds. I grew up exploring all around there as a child. Also The Coalbrookdale Inn, my local, and the place where I pulled my first pint. It hasn't changed one bit in the 30 years since I've been gone.
The furnace was built pre-1639. Darby's innovation was to use coke instead of coal as fuel for the furnace. If you actually look at the furnace, you will see where it was enlarged over its useful life time.

Britain from 1800 to 1900. 20,000 Waterwheels decreased in number. Windmills decreased in number. Englishman Thomas Newcomen's 1,500 Atmospheric Pumps disappeared. Scotsman James Watt's 500 Steam Engines and their descendants increased in number to 10,000,000 !!! For every SINGLE Waterwheel in 1800 we now had an additional 500 Steam Engines providing Power in 1900 !!! Available Power for the whole country increased by 500 times in one human lifetime! And it was all due to only one single Invention, James Watt's Invention of the world's first PRACTICAL Steam Engine. This WAS the birth of the Industrial Revolution! It was a Power Revolution! The Steam Engine was the only Invention that had never existed before.
