Telford
Description
Built in the 1960's and 70's and named after Civil engineer Thomas Telford, there is no way to hide that Telford is a New Town. Of the same Ilk as Milton Keynes. It's difficult to like the town, especially with the long walk from the station to the centre of town (or badly signposted bus link!). However, the town has now grown to swallow up the World Heritage Site of the Severn Gorge with Colebrookdale, Ironbridge and Coleport. It's also where you need to come to connect onto buses into the site.
