The area is a World Heritage Site (since 1986) and an anchor point of the European Route of Industrial Heritage (ERIH). MuseumsThe ten museum sites run by the Trust, collectively known as the Ironbridge Gorge Museums are:
The TrustIronbridge Gorge Museum Trust was established in 1968[1] to preserve and interpret the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution in the Ironbridge Gorge. It is an independent educational charity.[2] From 1970 it absorbed the Coalbrookdale Museum, now the Coalbrookdale Museum of Iron, which had been established in 1959.[1] Its present CEO is Anna Brennand, who took over from Steve Miller in 2013. Previous CEOs have included Stuart Smith and Sir Neil Cossons, both well-respected experts on industrial history and archaeology. The museum staff manage 35 historic sites within the Ironbridge Gorge World Heritage Site, including ten museums. The sites also include archaeological sites, two chapels, housing, two Quaker burial grounds, a research library, a tourist information centre, woodland, and two youth hostels. For over 20 years the museum has had a wide-ranging and innovative archaeology unit[3] which originally undertook archaeological work within the Ironbridge Gorge and throughout the country, although it now concentrates its work within the Ironbridge Gorge. Ironbridge InstituteThe Trust also runs the Ironbridge Institute in Coalbrookdale, a centre offering postgraduate and professional courses in heritage, in partnership with the University of Birmingham.
