Summary
England’s largest new town — a 1970s planned centre of shopping mall, civic buildings, and the surrounding former mining villages connected by a ring road through a heavily wooded central parkland.
About this location
Telford is a designated new town in Shropshire, assembled from a collection of former mining and industrial villages around an entirely new town centre built from 1963 onwards. The Telford Town Centre — a large covered shopping mall (the Telford Shopping Centre) surrounded by 1970s civic and commercial buildings — gives a specific 1970s new town commercial character. The central parkland system (Telford Town Park) connects the town centre to the surrounding communities through a continuous wooded park of around 450 acres.
The surrounding former mining settlements — Madeley, Dawley, Wellington, Oakengates, and Ironbridge itself — retain varying degrees of period character, from the Victorian ironmaster’s buildings of Ironbridge to the Victorian commercial streets of Wellington.
For productions, Telford Town Centre gives 1970s new town commercial architecture — the specific aesthetics of the post-war British new town experiment — in a setting with the central parkland immediately adjacent. Telford and Wrekin Council handles filming permits.
