An important national collection that tells the story of the heydays of tile making in the UK. Based in the former Craven Dunnill factory buildings on the banks of the River Severn. Jackfield Tile Museum is one among many museums and attractions around Ironbridge that are based in important historical sites within this area of Shropshire which was so important during the industrial revolution and the development of manufacturing which led to British preeminence and wealth as the Worlds greatest manufacturer and exporter. As well as the Tile Museum the site is now also once again making tiles. Under the name of Craven Dunnill Jackfield Ltd they specialise in reproducing historical tiling and bespoke art tiling very much in the tradition of the 19th century Craven Dunnill tile making. Factory tours are available and a fascinating look into how the skills of old are combined with the latest technologies to reproduce tiling for the conservation and restoration of some of our most important buildings, maintaining our heritage for future generations. For anyone with an interest in architecture, interior design, industrial and social history the Jackfield Tile Museum is a priceless resource and a must visit.
