COALBROOKDALE

Celebrated for its iron bridge over the Severn, is a winding glen between two vast hills, which are covered with hanging trees, and is situated about a mile from Madeley. Here are the most considerable iron works in England; the forges, mills, and steam engines, with all their vast machinery,-the flaming furnaces, and smoking lime kilns, present a horribly sublime spectacle. The stupendous iron bridge was erected in 1779, the whole having been cast in open sand ; all the principal parts were erected in three months, without any accident to the work or workmen, or the least obstruction to the navigation of the river : the span of the arch is 100 feet, 6 inches, the height, from the base line to the centre, is 40 feet, and the whole weight of iron is near 379 tons.

There is no Post-office at COALBROOK-DALE, COALPORT, (which is chiefly noted for its china manufactory), or Madeley, the principal place in the parish being Iron-bridge, where the office is kept by Mr. Smith, Bookseller, Market-place

The Post arrives at the Iron-bridge about four in the Morning, and returns at four in the Evening,

MADELEY

Stands in an elevated situation, fifteen miles from Shrewsbury, and contains 1081 houses, and upwards of 5370 inhabitants. It has a market on Friday, called Madeley Wood market, which is generally well supplied with provisions, and is of late become a considerable mart for corn. Two miles from Madeley, church, in a south-easterly direction is Coalport,* which takes its name from the termination of the Shropshire canal, which is seven miles in length, The coals brought by this conveyance, from the extensive mines of Ketley, Dawley, and other places, are landed on the banks of the river Severn, and are thence forwarded in barges to different parts of the counties of Worcester and Gloucester, to the average amount of fifty thousand tons annually.

* At Coalport, the large and flourishing Porcelain Manufacture of J.

Ross AND Co. is carried on to a great extent, and is the only one of the bind u, the county. This article in the beauty of its composition,-the superior taste displayed on its surface, and the elegance of the workman. ship, is no a here excelled.
