Telford Aga foundry to close within weeks
Aga Rangemaster will close the doors at its historic foundry for the final time this month. It was announced back in May that the company was going to close its Coalbrookdale site.
It has now been revealed that closure will be at the end of November.
Laura James, a spokeswoman for Aga Rangemaster said: “It is likely to be at the end of the month.” When it was announced, it was said that the move will impact on 35 jobs, although some foundry operators will move to other roles.
The closure represents a significant moment in the history of the Ironbridge Gorge, bringing to an end centuries of iron production on the site and removing the last major industrial name from what is widely known as the Cradle of Industry.
