Iron Bridge Gorge

Just returned from a pleasant weekend away at Iron Bridge. Lots of historical interest, but not really wargaming related. Iron Bridge is a World Heritage Site due to its associations with the Industrial Revolution. The bridge and associated museums were interesting, but the kids were really there for the Halloween fun at Blist Hill...

 

 

One thing caught my eye in The Museum of the Gorge. A 1/150 scale model of the River Seven and local 19th Century Industry. Photos don't really do it justice, but here's a taster.

 

 

The sheer scale of the model was truly impressive.

 

 

With an incredible attention to detail.

 

 

 

 

 

Time to pick up the paint brush and get back to those monks...
