Penny Black Cottage was built in approximately 1840, the year of the famous Penny Black Stamp. In the past 180 years it has been variously a general store, a postoffice, a wool shop and a tile shop to name but a few.

It is situated in Coalbrookdale, credited with being the birthplace of industry, and is approximately 100 yards from The Museum of Iron, and opposite the site of the “upper works” recently vacated after 100 years by AGA. The dale is now peaceful, dedicated to leisure and tourism after the hustle and bustle of the industrial age.
