 One of many glass fronted buildings in Telford City centre- Which was name after Thomas Telford. The town was put together in the 1960's and 1970's. Telford merged a lot of smaller settlements such as Wellington, Oakengates, Madley, Dawley and the ironbridge Gorge. Which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Which advertises itself as the Birth of Industry.


Thomas Telford (1757-1834) was a Scottish civil engineer, architect and stonemason. Designed numerous road and canal projects in Shropshire.
