Day 7 - The Cotswolds

Our first stop of the day was the Iron Bridge in Coalbrookdale. This was the day Tom had been waiting for. It was the first bridge in the world to be made of iron. It was built in 1779. One could not help but be owerwhelmed by the sense that we were standing at the birth place of the world as we know it(quoted by Tom). Lisa and Debbie visited the shops while Tom and Bill went to the Museum of Iron (yes that really is a place). Tom wanted to visit the Pipe Museum thinking it was a museum of iron pipe. We found out later it was a museum of smoking pipes. They never did find the museum and they were glad.
