Albert Edward Bridge

The Albert Edward Bridge is a cast-iron railway bridge spanning the River Severn between Coalbrookdale in Telford and Wrekin and the village of Buildwas in Shropshire. Listed as a Grade II structure, it dates from the Victorian era and stands just a short distance from the famous Iron Bridge of 1779 — the world's first cast-iron arch bridge — placing it squarely within one of England's most historically significant industrial landscapes. No longer in regular railway use, the bridge sits quietly above the wooded Severn valley, a modest but tangible relic of 19th-century engineering.
