Key Features
Location
The All Nations is an historic Grade II listed iconic brew pub nestled at the heart of the Ironbridge Gorge World Heritage Site. It has a rich history, being famously one of the last four brew pubs in the UK in the 1970s, and reputed to start trading in 1832. It has only been sold twice in that timeline which is a huge testament to the popularity of those who operate and frequent the public house. The property itself is untouched by modern influence with a traditional pub feel and large grounds that provide excellent outside trading areas. The pub was purchased by the current owner in 2002 at which point the brewhouse tradition was reignited after a brief closure, and it has continued with only two brewers since reopening. The business has won a large number of accolades within the industry, especially from CAMRA and is a real ale enthusiast Mecca, attracting them from all over the Midlands in addition to the large number of tourists visiting the Ironbridge Gorge and residents in the area. It enjoys outstanding outside trading areas which are key to its success during the busy summer months.
The All Nations Inn is located in the Ironbridge Gorge World Heritage Site in the boundaries of the town of Madeley, set on a quiet wooded hill side opposite the Blist Hill Victorian Town Museum, which attracts a huge number of visitors throughout the year. Madeley sits close to the River Severn at the edge of the Ironbridge Gorge, which in 1986 became one of the first UK sites to be awarded World Heritage status by UNESCO. Recognised for the areas unique and unrivalled contribution to the birth of the Industrial Revolution in the 18th Century, the impact of which is still felt across the world today. The UNESCO status, along with the large number of local tourist attractions, including the Blists Hill Victorian Museum opposite the public house ensures a huge number of visitors throughout the year to the area.
