Advantages: Shopping, nice areas, easy to get around, close to other places Disadvantages: Some bad areas, some bad people, bad nightlife
...as being officially renamed as Telford, after the engineer Thomas Telford. Further development of housing and commerical areas continued into the 70s, including a building of the main shopping centre, as well as the M54, which connected the town to the rest of the motorway system. And that's about it for the history of the town of Telford! Told you it wouldn't take long. ==So Where Is Telford? And How Do I Get There?== Ah this is the one I'm asked ... ...different ways to drive to Telford, though one of the most direct is via the M54, which heads away from Birmingham directly through Telford, and is connected to the large network of motorways throughout the country. Providing you know where Telford is, it should be easily accessible from any direction once you reach Shropshire due to the major nature of the town, though it is surrounded by countryside which means winding country lanes if you're not ...

Advantages: Easy to get to Disadvantages: Finding stuff other than the Iron Bridge
Telford, in Shropshire, is well worth a visit. It is an area steeped in history. And I am not talking about the faux "Victorian town" constructed at Blists Hill. (Which is really called Blessers Hill, but a cartographer's mistake saddled it with the name Blists Hill.)
Did you know that the Civil War opened for business in Wellington, an ancient market town in Telford?
It's true! "In September 1642, King Charles I raised his standard in the market ... ...at 2, Crown Street, Wellington, Telford, Shropshire.
The Wellington Library in Walker Street, Wellington, has a local studies section.
Wellington has a market that is still going strong after over 1,000 years, and is open Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday and you can get a fantastic deal on meals at the White Lion in Crown Street. Two main courses from the specials board (all freshly prepared) for £5.50 for the two, and usually three well-kept ...

Telford, Shropshire
Telford is a town in the Midlands just off the M54 making it easy to access.
Known as the birthplace of industry
This town has lots of attractions and things to do, including a very large shopping centre with lots of shops to suit everyone's shopping needs, all indoors making shopping in any weather enjoyable. There are several very large car parks for the shopping centre all though you do have to pay to park.
There is also ... ...a really nice café on the inside of the market area.
There are also a few large retail parks in Telford which are just a short car journey away.
Just on the edge of the shopping centre is a very large town park, including Wonderland a brilliant day out for all the family that the kids will love, the park is a large safe area, which is kept clean and in good condition not your average scabby park.
There is a bowling alley and ice rink also great ...

Advantages: has a very nice shopping centre (from a blokes point of view) Disadvantages: I never will get the hang of that flaming ring road.
I stopped off at Telford for a night on my way to Bridgnorth Folk Festival ( an exeptional Festival a review of which will follow as and when Ciao has a slot for Folk Festivals). Stayed at the Telford Travel Inn just to use up some old vouchers, the price should have been around £49.95. A promise they make is that should your sleep be disturbed in any way before 7am they will give you a refund and at around 6.30 am I awoke to the sound of a bin/skip ... ...back of the hotel.
Although I would have accepted less the duty manager insisted on a full refund.
Shopping, Telford has a very nice new shopping mall with most of the major retail outlets within, when I went the car park had the offer of 20 minutes free, so if you got your ticket back through the exit machine within that time you are ok. Great for blokes like me who know excactly what we want and can still dash twixt prams and pushchairs and other ...
