Coalbrookdale & Ironbridge, “birthplace of industry”, is a World Heritage site.

Facilities The Centre has car parking for 32 vehicles and level access to all facilities on the ground floor. 100 people can be accommodated comfortably in the main room and there is moveable seating for this number. There is also a selection of large oblong, small oblong and small round tables (all foldable and moveable) sufficient to accommodate 100 people sitting at tables. Tablecloths are available. In addition there is a smaller second room which leads off the main hall. This has a kitchen with cooker, fridge with small freezer compartment and microwave. It has a bar area which can be used to serve drinks or food and there is a hot water dispenser and there are also two kettles. Crockery,cutlery, glasses and mugs for at least 50 people is available. There are male and female toilets and a toilet for wheelchair users. Wi-fi access is available, (ask for the password) and there are plenty of sockets for computer use. In the centre of the main room, there is an original maypole (still useable if you bring your own ribbons!) dating from the days when the Centre was the local school. Outside, in addition to the large car park, is our Rain Garden. We, with Shropshire Wildlife Trust and the Environment Agency, de- paved an area of old tarmac and planted a garden which is watered by rain drawn from the roof. There is a wild flower lawn, a bench for quiet contemplation, and a permanent brick-built barbecue for more social occasions. Click here to see what was done. On the other side of the car park, there is another garden with a seat. This is called Rachel's Garden and was planted in memory of a local resident and committee member who died in 2008.
