A brief history of TelfordA brief history of Telford

What makes Telford historically interesting? Telford was built as one of the new towns in the West midlands. It was formed due to Birmingham's population increase, so small towns were created for some of Birmingham's population to relocate to.

Telford is now 53 years old, and although it may not be as old as other towns, it does hold significant place in history. Telford was named after the engineer Thomas Telford who was said to have created more advancement in industries such as civil engineering and is also known for laid the foundations of Colossus of Roads.

Telford is famous for its Iron bridge Gorge. The Iron Bridge Gorge first opened in 1781, and it was the first influential bridge in the world at that time to have been made from cast iron. Due to its success, many were inspired, and there was then widespread use of cast iron as a structural material across the world. The Iron Bridge Gorge is seen to be one of the world's heritage sites for the UK, and this is due to it being one of the elements that had started the industrial revolution within England. This industrial revolution took place in the 18th century and has been implemented and is still being explored today.
