The Severn Gilders

The Severn Gilders are a women's team who were named after the workers - the Gilders - who put the gold decorative edging on the china made in the famous Coalport factory that was located on the banks of the River Severn.  Our other team colours of red, black represent the fire and coal of the furnaces as a tribute to Ironbridge, a World Heritage site and one of the birthplaces of the industrial revolution.
