Broseley Pipeworks

There were once three pipe manufacturers in Broseley, making it one of the largest pipe-making areas in the world but in 1957 the doors were closed on 350 years of traditional pipe making. It remained derelict for many years until it reopened in 1996 as part of Ironbridge Gorge Museums. See the traditional tools of the job lying on benches as they would have been when it was a functioning factory.
