DescriptionThe Upper Furnace Pool - geograph.org.uk - 571108.jpg
English: The Upper Furnace Pool. Part of the water management scheme for the Coalbrookdale foundries, this provided water to power the bellows for the blast furnaces, and the turning and grinding machines. The railway viaduct was built in 1862-64 to carry trains from Wellington to Craven Arms. It still carries trains, taking coal to the Ironbridge power station.
