Coalport Bridge is a cast iron arch bridge built in the early nineteenth century to span the River Severn at Coalport in Shropshire. The bridge was constructed to serve the industrial works at Coalport, a settlement that became known for its porcelain manufacture and ironworking. The structure demonstrates the technological advances of the Industrial Revolution through its use of cast iron, a material that was increasingly employed in bridge construction during this period. The bridge remains an important monument to Shropshire's industrial heritage and the engineering innovations that characterised early nineteenth-century Britain.
