Darby smelts iron with coke at Coalbrookdale

Assembled from 24 blocks · 1 evidence · 15 related

1. Story
2. Abraham Darby I, having leased a furnace at Coalbrookdale in Shropshire the previous year, produced iron using coke instead of charcoal. The immediate product was thin cast cookware rather than forge-grade iron, and adoption elsewhere took another half-century, but the substitution broke the link between the output of the iron trade and the acreage of managed woodland.
