About Fencing in Telford
Telford in Shropshire was designated a new town in 1968, expanding an earlier plan for neighbouring Dawley to draw population and industry away from Birmingham and the Black Country, and taking its name from the engineer Thomas Telford. The new town's boundary was extended to include the historic Ironbridge Gorge, home to the world's first iron bridge, cast at nearby Coalbrookdale in 1774 and recognised today as a UNESCO World Heritage Site marking the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution.
