The first bridge ever to be built of iron, in 1779, is perhaps the most important industrial monument in Britain. The bridge changed the pattern of communications in its area, and attracted thousands of sightseers. The first book with this title marked the bicentenary in 1979, explaining the conception, design, and construction of the bridge and its social impact. However, since then, so much new evidence has required a completely new account. Of the iron bridges built in the half century after 1781, this book identifies nearly twice as many as the first edition. The definitive history by the two authors best qualified to write it.

The book explores the evolution of Shrewsbury, a city characterized by its striking churches and historical architecture, as it expanded beyond its medieval boundaries in the mid-18th century. It details the development of various residential areas, from elegant villas to worker housing, and the emergence of 20th-century estates designed for returning veterans. Shrewsbury serves as a compelling case study of suburban growth, balancing both diversity and preservation of its rich suburban heritage.
