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.
Postcode Local Trust is a grant-giving charity funded entirely by players of People’s Postcode Lottery. We have received £15,000 from the Trust to help restore the slipway at the Old Coracle Shed, reconnecting the Shed to the River for the first time in over 70 years
