Looked Spectacular!
I don’t know why they haven’t got some sort of lighting for the Museums, Bridge & Furnaces it would look 100% just like the caves in bridgnorth. It would enable people to enjoy the sites both day and night!

What a fantastic effort was put – I wish it ran another night or 2 so that I could see everything. The lighting on the bridge was exactly what a world heritage site deserves.

Very nice and pretty.
But has anone thought about the carbon footprint of lighting on monuments all year round?
I thought not.
No lighting is required on the Ironbridge
Leave beauty as it is

rob telford, there is a big queue of penguins on the high street looking to order some leaflets, can you help…
Report abuse
I’ve had a look outside – they’re not penguins, they’re ****dy guillemots. We don’t do work for them, not after the trouble we had last time.
They did say they were interested in buying a van though…..

Y Mab Darogan.
with the technology we have these day, carbon footprint isn’t an issue.
Solar/wind and the fact that these are all by a river the aid of hydro power could be used.
The technology is there, we are just not using it.
Like i said, why can’t we enjoy, as you say “Beauty” night and day?
