Story
This Grade II* listed scheduled Ancient Monument has a long and varied history but is now in need of urgent stabilisation and conservation.
The Ironbridge Gorge Museum Trust is working hard to raise the funding needed to preserve Bedlam Furnaces. A roof will be erected over the Furnaces, protecting it from the elements and presenting opportunities for improved interpretation and increased access.
The principle aims of this project are to:
- Complete essential repairs and conservation work so the monument can be removed from English Heritage's Register of Heritage at Risk.
- Improved signage to tell the history and importance of the Bedlam Furnaces.
- Improved access to the site.
- Improve links with the community, including schools and partner organisations.
If we exceed our fundraising target, we will use any additional funds to support other important projects at the museum.
