Former houses belonging to Abraham Darby I, a Quaker and industrialist who developed a method of producing pig iron with a blast furnace using coke instead of charcoal which was vital to the Industrial Revolution. His work can be seen at the Museum of Iron.
The Darby Houses museum is managed by the National Trust and is one of ten museums acquired from the Ironbridge Gorge Museum Trust in 2026. It is based in Coalbrookdale in Ironbridge Gorge in Shropshire, England within a World Heritage Site, the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution.
