Having utilised The Bird in Hand many moons ago when visiting Ironbridge, due to its excellent elevated views of the Severn and being a bit out of town to avoid the tourist crush, we looked the place up again when travelling back through the area.
Unfortunately we found it closed on the lunchtime of the warmest July Friday so far this year. There were no outward signs that it had closed down for good, but also no sign to the reason why it was closed for our visit. Fortunately the White Hart back by the bridge stepped in admirably, but I really hope this is not another one that has not made it in these troubled pub times..

A very warm welcome received at this family run pub, wish we had found it a bit earlier in our stay. Menu was extensive and food was served hot and within reasonable time frame. Perhaps a bit of a time warp and reminded us of the 1980s but well worth a visit.

Older than the iron bridge according to its big sign, up some steps from river level presumably to avoid the frequent floods here. Two rooms, one marked Lounge and the other Dining Room but there's little to choose in terms of décor or furnishing. Both are very pubby in the mid to late 20th Century style – lots of brass and nic-nacks on white walls with the odd bit of half timbering. There is also a preponderance of wrought iron, on the windows and in the shape of the iron bridge over the neat and unusual lounge fireplace. Lots of interesting pictures of the bridges and the gorge. The other room has a weapons corner. There are three pulls on each bar counter with Ruddles and a guest from Ludlow in excellent condition, this was in spite of the Banks's signage. A collection of pump clips hints there is a thriving guest beer policy. I think I was the only casual drinker on my evening visit, the other middle aged customers appeared to be just finishing their dinner or being tempted to pudding.
