Iron Bridge House is a well known Landmark Trust property in the shadow of Britain's best known industrial monument. The building is the complete establishment of a substantial grocer, with a large house over a double-fronted shop, with offices behind, storerooms and stables to the rear. From the substantial cellars a tunnel used to run to the bank of the River Severn, up which, until the late nineteenth century, the cargoes were brought by barge.

This phase of repair included

  • Re-tiling the numerous roofs
  • A new hidden flat lead roof
  • Conservation roof lights 
  • Rebuilding of chimneys 
  • Lime pointing
  • Masonry and brick repair
  • Decoration.
