Yeah. There's more to see of the whole UK. You can visit some lovely places in the UK easily via train from London. London is a cool city, however, I do believe there is far more to see in the UK and England.
The furnace was built pre-1639. Darby's innovation was to use coke instead of coal as fuel for the furnace. If you actually look at the furnace, you will see where it was enlarged over its useful life time.
Britain from 1800 to 1900. 20,000 Waterwheels decreased in number. Windmills decreased in number. Englishman Thomas Newcomen's 1,500 Atmospheric Pumps disappeared. Scotsman James Watt's 500 Steam Engines and their descendants increased in number to 10,000,000 !!! For every SINGLE Waterwheel in 1800 we now had an additional 500 Steam Engines providing Power in 1900 !!! Available Power for the whole country increased by 500 times in one human lifetime! And it was all due to only one single Invention, James Watt's Invention of the world's first PRACTICAL Steam Engine. This WAS the birth of the Industrial Revolution! It was a Power Revolution! The Steam Engine was the only Invention that had never existed before.
I lived in Coalbrookdale for over twenty years only moving there to do a course in industrial archaeology and history. The whole Ironbridge area is well worth a visit with much more to see than Steve's excellent video shows.
Ah my old stomping grounds. I grew up exploring all around there as a child. Also The Coalbrookdale Inn, my local, and the place where I pulled my first pint. It hasn't changed one bit in the 30 years since I've been gone.
A journalist and your fan from East Africa. Welcome to Tanzania and enjoy the beautiful of Kilimanjaro mountain. Serengeti national park and many more. My dream is to meet you one-day
that bridge was built in 1779 I reckon I was about 5 then ,they were definitely built to last makes you think about modern technology , thanks for that video
How novel to see a travel writer go to the area I was born! The countryside in that area is beautiful to walk in as well. Thank you for your work, Rick and co.!
That history intro was actually very helpful for my research, thank you!
The bridge looks a lot nicer now that it’s been painted dark red 😍😍😍
Ironbridge is a great town to stay a couple of nights.
I love watching your videos always Mr. Rick Steve.
Lovely views and informative one..
Steve, you are love. I just love your videos. So much love for you from Pakistan.

Really like the videos. I also use the Rick Steves Travel Guides. I even use the Rick Steves backpack.
Someone else's workout videos though, clearly.
Ótimo canal. .

Hallo Rick,I'm Amelia from Indonesia. Nice to meet you
What was the answer given by the man when asked “what would you think if I asked for 1/2 pint.” I can’t hear that part very well. Thanks.
'I'd think you were a lightweight' 🙂
jaipur @3:02 ? :O
It's an IPA (India pale ale).
River Severn valley , not Severn river valley! I lived in Ironbridge a decade ago. It was the River Severn, _not_ the Severn river!

Love England 👑🌷💖💫
After watching you travel the world, it's very odd seeing you in a place I've been too many times.
The Smiths mention the iron bridge in one of their songs 😁 “under the iron bridge we kissed” 🎵
I was been in this bridge one year ago. Amazing place. 👍
wow! I miss watching your show Rick👌👍☺️
Luv everything about England.
You should visit Telford, Steve.
Rick Steve's a lightweight
When I bored to do some college's tasks, I always look for these kinda videos to boost my motivation. thankyou!
I lived in Coalbrookdale for over twenty years only moving there to do a course in industrial archaeology and history. The whole Ironbridge area is well worth a visit with much more to see than Steve's excellent video shows.
Plenty to see and do in Shropshire too.
Rick Steves Rules
the way you present it is great, your video makes sense. Oh, Europe is so beautiful, I hope I will come here once.
