The Ironbridge Gorge is a World Heritage Site in the middle of the United Kingdom and is widely acknowledged to be the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution. It is most commonly known for the world-famous Iron Bridge, built to cross the river Severn in 1779, but the entire area is scattered with the architectural features of that period and, apart from some modern in-fill buildings, little has changed since those busy days.
I am a local photographer who has lived in the Ironbridge Gorge for my entire life and so have a strong empathy with the area. During 2009 I decided to embark on a project to photograph the architectural features and landscape of the Gorge - but in a manner that reflected its history and heritage. It is for that reason that I decided to present the photographs in monochrome - a format that perfectly captures these timeless views.
The Ironbridge Gorge in Monochrome is a 'live' project and so new photographs are added regularly. Please visit again.
