62. The Birth of the Industrial Revolution, Coalbrookdale, Shropshire

<p>In this episode Neil takes us to age simmering with the steadily building heat of technological change and advance. We stride across a landscape of great beauty, full of the things needed to kick start a profound transformation; the natural energy of powerful rivers, land rich with minerals, coal and iron ore. Here in Coalbrookdale, in Shropshire a heady mix of human ingenuity, innovation and the commercial drive of entrepreneurs, built a bridge of mesmerising beauty which was forged in the first fires of a coming Industrial revolution that would transform the whole world!</p><br /><p>To help support this podcast sign up to Neil Oliver on Patreon</p><p><a href="https://www.patreon.com/neiloliver" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.patreon.com/neiloliver</a></p><p>Neil’s Patreon site is pack full of history, comment and current affairs</p><p>Instagram account – Neil Oliver Love Letter - <a href="https://www.instagram.com/neiloliverloveletter/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/neiloliverloveletter/?hl=en</a></p><p>YouTube Channel is at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnVR-SdKxQeTvXtUSPFCL7g" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnVR-SdKxQeTvXtUSPFCL7g</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><hr /><p style="color: grey; font-size: 0.75em;"> Hosted on Acast.
