The Ironmen and Severn Gilders Morris side, was formed in 1976 and are based near the historic Iron Bridge World Heritage site in Shropshire.
Both teams wear wooden soled clogs with small bells, though each follows a different dance tradition, they do enjoy performing ’mixed dances’ too!
The Ironmen disguise their faces with red and black stripes, which reflect the team’s kit colours. They clash their sticks as they perform lively Border Morris dances.
The Severn Gilders, named after the local Coalport China painters, hold ribboned bobbins as they weave the intricate dances of North West Morris.
Each team usually performs at the same events, locally and around the country and
are supported by their excellent band of musicians.
