    At an appeal at Worcester Crown Court today, Judge Mithani rejected his appeal over the destruction order. He ordered the dogs be destroyed immediately.

    Cast iron production began at the site when industrialist Abraham Darby opened a factory in 1709.

    Local people have told BBC Shropshire they don't want just homes built on the site. The leader of Telford and Wrekin Council says he'd like it to become a working museum.

    Quote Message

    There's a real opportunity for the museum, I think the idea of a working museum is a great one. I think the ability for this site to maybe look at the different forms of the next industrial revolution would be quite fitting as well."

  16. Aga rejects rumours workers were turned awaypublished at 18:50 GMT 23 November 2017

    Aga has bit out at rumours on social media that its workers in Coalbrookdale were turned away this morning and even shut out of its factory.

    The firm, which is ending production at the site, said work to wind down the site was ahead of schedule and it was agreed some workers could go home early.

    It said a photo showing the factory gates shut was set up by workers as a "symbolic image" - one "Aga supported".

    "No staff were turned away at any point and none has been prevented from entering the site," a spokesperson said.

    As many of the staff ended their jobs today at Aga's foundry in Coalbrookdale, it felt like the end of an era.

    From 1709, when it was first used by Abraham Darby I as a foundry, this part of Shropshire was such a huge part of the industrial revolution it was like having a Microsoft or an Apple in the county.

    Speaking to some of the people who've worked here, they say it was a tough job, physical work of "hard graft" but they add that it was a "fantastic environment" to work in.

    Many of the workers leaving today hung boots on the gate, a tradition for those leaving a closing foundry, as Aga praised the staff for their "positivity, dignity and attention to detail at this difficult time".
