Blists Hill Victorian Town

An open-air museum built on a former industrial complex.

The museum attempts to recreate the sights, sounds and smells of a Victorian Shropshire town in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

One of the ten award-winning museums operated by the Ironbridge Gorge Museum Trust.

Originally Blists Hill was an industrial region consisting of a brick and tile works, blast furnaces and coal, iron and fire clay mines.

The museum was opened in 1973 and has been growing ever since.

The museum's buildings fall into one of three categories, buildings that were already part of the industrial site, buildings that represent a generic type and original buildings that have been relocated to the museum.

The museum has three districts, a town area with Victorian era shops such as a bank, bakery, bicycle shop and post office. An industrial district that provided various employment from a blast furnace and wrought iron works and a countryside district with buildings such as a squatter's cottage and tin roof church.

World Heritage Site

In 1986 the Ironbridge Gorge was one of the first locations to be designated as a World Heritage Site within the UK.

This designation recognised the area’s unique and unrivalled contribution to the birth of the Industrial Revolution in the 18th century – the impact of which is still felt across the world today.
