Well the Darby's of coalbrookdale were responsible in England for iron. They first came up with coke (iron without the sulphur) in 1700. But the materials used to make coke was running out (e.g. wood etc.) so then they came up with the idea of iron in the 18th century. This was then used for iron structures, such as iron bridges and ships like the HSM Warrior. Hope this helps :D
