Telford – did you know?

Telford is the largest town in Shropshire, with a population of over 155,000 residents calling it home.
Interestingly, Telford is named after the Scottish civil engineer Thomas Telford, who designed many roads and bridges across Britain.
The Iron Bridge in nearby Ironbridge Gorge was the first cast-iron bridge ever built and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Notably, Telford might be the youngest town in the UK, founded in 1968 with a population of just 75,000 people at the time.
Telford was designed as a Forest City, and over one million trees of 150 different species were planted across the town.
What’s more, up until 1950 everyone crossing the Iron Bridge had to pay a toll, and even Queen Elizabeth II had to pay her way.
Telford Town Park is regarded as one of the best urban parks in the UK, criss-crossed with cycle paths and walking tracks.
Finally, Telford Shopping Centre features more than 160 independent shops, plus cafes, cocktail bars, and restaurants for visitors.
Interestingly, unlike most UK towns, Telford was carefully planned in advance, with roads and buildings designed before construction began.
Notably, the notable hill near the town called The Wrekin is part of the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
