- Abstract
Coalbrookdale in Shropshire, England is generally acknowledged as the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution. The remarkable iron bridge across the River Severn is its enduring icon. The industrial technologies developed there were transported elsewhere in the world. The similarities between Coalbrookdale and the Brunner Industrial site in New Zealand are remarkable. Coal, clay and human enterprise came together at Brunner to build a site of national, perhaps international, industrial heritage significance.
