Archaeology in the Gorge

Over the weekend we held an archaeology day at Coalbrookdale, which was attended by a number of museum visitors. This was held as part of the Council for British Archaeology's National Archaeology Week People participated in the excavation by the Darby Furnace, and had fun piecing together artefacts.

The open day was held in conjunction with the Madeley Living History Project, who also ran an event in Madeley town centre. We are working closely with the MLHP to bring you a very special event indeed for 2007.
