Coracle Stories

The Ironbridge Coracle Trust rediscovered many of the tools and strange animated characters which had been in the old shed and have built this new shed to show them and tell the stories, often in the coracle men’s own words. The New coracle shed is where you can see the Coracle Stories exhibition.
The Glass Shed. This shed safely displays many of the original items from the old shed

There is a replica of one of the witches. The real witch is in the glass shed, with a fox, tools and many mysterious objects. A real old curiosity shop!

There are also fascinating historic photos and films, many supplied by local people.

Local artists and craftspeople have been helping to tell the stories.

The New Coracle shed is full of fascinating pictures and interactive displays which tell the story of the Ironbridge coracle men.
