Telford history
Early history
Early settlement in the area was thought to be on the land that sloped up from the Weald Moors . Farmland surrounded three large estates in the 10th century, namely Wellington, Wrockwardine and Lilleshall . From the 13th century there was urban development in Wellington and Madeley, where Wenlock Priory founded a new town . Six monastic houses, founded in the 11th and 12th centuries, had large interests in the economic growth .
Modern history
The New Town was first designated on 16 January 1963 as Dawley New Town, covering 9,100 acres (37 km) of Dawley, Wenlock, Oakengates, Wellington Rural District and Shifnal Rural District . In 1983, after fierce opposition and three public enquiries, the M54 motorway was completed, connecting the town to the M6 and the rest of the UK’s motorway network . In 2007, a £250 million regeneration plan for the town centre was announced, which includes the pedestrianisation of the road surrounding the shopping centre .
