Ironbridge 40's Weekend 2026, held 23rd and 24th May 2026 at Dale End Park, Ironbridge, in Shropshire. An annual 1940's military and civilian re-enactment, using themes and characters mostly from the European theatre of conflict. As always, the atmosphere was fun, friendly and vibrant. Photos taken

Pictures were taken on the Sunday, 24/05/26, at a public event where it is assumed to be OK to publish on the internet. Permission was granted by the subjects for posed photos. However, if anyone wants any photo removed from this set, please contact me, Bob, at dimparcio@protonmail quoting the file number eg DSC1234 and I will do so forthwith. Otherwise, if you like them and would like to download them, please do so, especially if it helps promote re-enactments such as this.

Rather than looking to the future, punkers or 'steamers' re-imagine the past. To what might have been if pressure powered technologies had flourished and been perfected. Back to a time when electricity was in its infancy, when women were militant and when respect was deserved through science, engineering and discovery (but no oil refinement or computating machines!) Instead, when coal fires produced steam to move big things like stylized iron and brass machines on land, at sea and in the air, aided by the invention of gravity-defying materials. All this topped off with a bit of Victorian art here and there.
