NEW LIFE FOR THE OLD CORACLE SHED SLIPWAY Thanks to players of People’s Postcode Lottery works are due to start this month to restore the slipway behind the Old Coracle Shed, which is located at the heart of the Ironbridge Gorge World Heritage Site. These works will reconnect the Shed to the River for the first time in over 70 years. The Old Coracle Shed can be seen from the Iron Bridge and is a small but important part of the social heritage of the Ironbridge Gorge. Over the decades the slipway had gradually been buried under 1.5m of silt. During recent works to restore the Old Coracle Shed as a visitor attraction, the silt was removed revealing the almost intact brick slipway. Restoring the slipway will not only provide a legacy it will also enable the Trust to deliver a programme of coracle paddling over the summer months (when river levels permit!). Coracles are now a regular sight on the river and the annual regatta held every August Bank Holiday is more popular than ever. People love to have a go in the quirky round boats! #telford #coracles #coraclemaking #ironbridgecoracle #volunteer #coracleregatta #worldheritagesite #ironbridge #ironbridgecoracletrust #coracle #ironbridgegorge #ironbridgemuseums #craft #greenwoodcentre #shropshire #coraclewebsite #redlistofendangeredcrafts #ironbridgemuseum #ironbridgecoracleman #heritagecrafts #ironbridgeworldheritagefestival #postcodelottery #peoplespostcodelottery
