Telford

Telford is a town in the county of Shropshire, England. It lies on the River Severn, between Shrewsbury and Stafford, and is the largest town in the county.

Telford is a new town, founded in 1963 as a result of the New Towns Act passed by the British government. It was built to relieve congestion in Birmingham and Wolverhampton, and to provide homes for people who were moving out of cities due to overcrowding.

The town has a number of attractions, including Telford Town Park, which covers more than 100 acres and includes a lake, an amphitheater, and a golf course. The park also has a children’s play area and a petting zoo. Other attractions include the Ironbridge Gorge Museum Trust, which tells the story of the Industrial Revolution in Britain, and Blists Hill Victorian Town, which recreates life in Victorian England.
