Thanks Ian for sharing a bit of history, across the wide water of blue.  A vision to be enjoyed by all.

The Iron Bridge crosses the River Severn at the Ironbridge Gorge, by the village of Ironbridge, in Shropshire, England. It was the first arch bridge in the world to be made out of cast iron, a material which was previously far too expensive to use for large structures. However, a new blast furnace nearby lowered the cost and so encouraged local engineers and architects to solve a long-standing problem of a crossing over the river.

There are about 10 different museums in the immediate area.
One a really nice Victorian Village much like Upper Canada Village.
