DSH | -b--h-- d--b- Abraham Darby > For a crossword clue, who built the first iron bridge? > > For a crossword clue, who built the first iron bridge? > Abraham Darby the third. Iron Bridge built trying to prove he was as good as his father & grandfather. And the Iron Bridge is the world's biggest 'product sample' being of little or no practical use for any other reason. Age late twenties & owed vast sums of money when he died 10 years later.

This model was created as a guide to how the bridge was built" here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/3d/ironbridge.shtml as posted by Colin 20 hours or so before your post. OP an American too? :-) Liz <scarpering before she, too, gets a George Cross!) Ahhh Madam Liz, Foolish me .. I saw Vail's "-a--h-- d--b-" hint and figured the first name must be Abraham. So I Google searched "Abraham Iron Bridge" and ta-da !! Abraham Darby came up. I missed Colin's contribution.
