  • A Bristol / Coalbrookdale Connection
    BIAS JOURNAL No 19 1986 A Bristol-Coalbrookdale Peggy K Stembridge The fame of Coalbrookdale, a small tributary valley to the Severn, in Shropshire, is inevit- ably associated with Abraham Darby and his family because of Darby innovations and develop- ments in the iron industry there during the eighteenth century. This connection has been well chronicled in A Raistrick's Dynasty of Iron Founders:The Darbys and Coalbrookdale (1953), and some aspects have been explored in more precise detail by R A Mott in journal art- icles.(l) International prominence has also come to the district with the establishment of the Ironbridge Gorge Museum, with Abraham Darby's Old Blast Furnace as its core ('Birth- place of the Industrial Revolution’). More recently, however,some recognition has begun to come to members of the Goldney family of Bristol, who made both a financial and a practical con- tribution to the survival and development of the iron works at Coalbrookdale and to the expansion of the industry in the area. The Coalbrookdale Museum of Iron, opened in 1979, displays a larger-than-life likeness of Thomas Goldney III, and in the newly opened exhibition (September 1986) in Rosehill, one of the Darby houses nearby, his contribution and that of his father, Thomas Goldney II, is again acknowledged. It is impossible to give a complete narrative of the early Coalbrookdale venture because of the nature of the surviving records: business and legal papers, diverse, fragmentary, and dispersed in various collections. The purpose of this article is to give a brief account of the Bristol connection with Darby and Coalbrook- dale in the early years, and to consider parti- cularly the significant contribution of the two Thomas Goldneys, father and son, by making use of records and information relating to them and their association with the Darby ironworks of which Raistrick and Mott were unaware.
