Reflections from the “Grand Old Lady” of Ironbridge, Tuesday 15th August 2023 (Author’s Collection)

A short and sweet edition this time as even a cursory glance at my “UK Travel” library will confirm, I go to my spiritual home of Ironbridge every chance I get and even if it’s for an evening bag of fish and chips (it’s a box, but a bag sounds more traditional!) and a chat with the “Grand Old Lady” herself. So I’ll leave you with some quite stunning images from an evening in Ironbridge as well as a taster for the album I listened to on my way to and sadly yet again away from, my latest date with the oldest iron bridge in the world:

Star Date: Tuesday 15th August 2023

Artist: Elbow

Album: “Giants of All Sizes”

Favourite track: This album is a stunner and so difficult to split in ranking, but the final song “Weightless” is quite beautiful and something very special:

Reflections from a picture perfect Ironbridge — Part 2.

Treat yourself to the bells of St Luke’s Church sometime and you’ll almost forget there even is another world outside of this picture of bliss. Almost.

Erected in 1779 and constructed half a mile along the River Severn at nearby Coalbrookdale.

“The Iron Bridge 1779–1979. This plaque to mark the bi-centenary of the Iron Bridge was unveiled by HRH The Prince of Wales on 5th July 1979”.

Say hello to the oldest iron bridge in the world!

My spiritual home for over two decades, and forever more.
