We are based in a grade 2* star listed building constructed in 1791. We overlook the famous "Iron Bridge" at the heart of the Ironbridge Gorge World Heritage Site.
Ironbridge is on the River Severn, some 3 miles (5km) south of Telford town centre in the beautiful county of Shropshire.
The area was once a major centre for teddy bear manufacture and the tradition continues today for Ironbridge is not just the home of Merrythought Teddy Bears but a unique Teddy Bear shop........ "Bears on the Square"
