Rosehill House (Coalbrookdale)

Rosehill House is a historic house at Coalbrookdale in Shropshire.

The original house, Dale House, was built by the iron founder Abraham Darby I, on the hillside overlooking what came to be known as the Ironbridge Gorge in 1715, but died before he could live in it.

His son-in-law and clerk Richard Ford built Rosehill House next door in 1738, and this was occupied by the family for four generations before the smoke drove some of them away.

It became a hotel in 1951, and is now owned by the Ironbridge Trust.
