Jackfield
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jackfield is a village in the Ironbridge Gorge, Shropshire, England.
It lies on the south bank of the River Severn, near to the town of Broseley and opposite the village of Coalport. Jackfield is in both Telford and Wrekin and Bridgnorth districts of Shropshire - the border runs through the settlement. The central portion of the village was constructed on a particularly unstable part of the Severn Gorge where several landslips have been recorded. The landslip of 1957 devastated the core of Jackfield.
Less than a mile upstream is the world famous Iron Bridge. In Jackfield there is the Jackfield Tile Museum (website).
