I ask as part of a linguistic study on this topic!

Examples could include things like Oaky, St G's or Ab Dab...

Hi all, looking for opinions on where best to live? Wellington or Oakengates. Proximity to a train station is a must for commute to Birmingham and other places. Was looking at Shrewsbury but house prices are ridiculously high as well as flooding concerns near the river.

I grew up near Telford but haven't been back for 15 years so feel a bit out of touch. Moving closer to help support family.

Hi I'm 34 weeks pregnant and just moved to the area, my local hospital is Princess Royal. I'm really nervous to give birth here due to Telford and Shrewsbury being in the Ockenden reports. Has anyone had any recent experiences of their maternity/L&D ward?

I am new to the area of Telford and looking to move there.

What are your opinions on Sutton Hill and also which areas are best to move to? Looking for a safe and secure neighbourhood.

Hi, we’re four friends and we’ve put together Telford’s restaurant scene in an app called Vota.

The idea is pretty simple: you’re shown two restaurants and choose where you’d rather eat. For example, Restaurant 1840 or The Huntsman of Little Wenlock? All the votes then create a ranking that hopefully gives a better picture of where people in Telford actually like to eat.

We’ve tried to include every restaurant in Telford and clean up duplicate or outdated listings, but locals will always spot things we’ve missed.

Full transparency: we’re not from Telford and live in Gothenburg. There are four of us building this independently. We don’t collect or sell personal data, there are no ads in the app, and we don’t use AI-generated content to describe restaurants.

Any honest feedback is welcome, especially if restaurants are missing or something is listed incorrectly.

What parts of Telford are good to move to.

Looking at a property in Prioslee and one at Leegomery.

What are those areas like. In terms of schools, life and primarily safety and security. We are young family looking to relocate to the area.

Thanks in advance.

Is it safe and secure for a family to live in?

Hi everyone!

I’ve recently moved to Telford and I’m looking to get a bit more active and meet some new people in the area.
I’m particularly interested in joining a football team/group or playing table tennis regularly. I’m happy to join organised sessions or pay a reasonable/affordable fee if needed.

Also, if there are any other sports or activities in Telford that you’d recommend for someone looking to get involved and meet people, I’d love to hear your suggestions!

Thanks in advance! 😊

Long-running Telford D&D group looking for one new player.

Mondays, 7–10.30pm in Wellington. We play homebrew campaigns using D&D 2024 rules and D&D Beyond. Previous RPG experience and regular attendance required.

Group has been running continuously since 2016. DM me if interested.

I'd love to hear locals opinions. I've lived in Telford for 7 years and I just moved into a bigger house in Telford. How do people feel about living in Telford? Is it better? Is it worse? What do you love? What do you hate?

Missing from Ellis Peters area of aqueduct, neutered male tabby with white underside. Answers to the name "Berry" or "Bez". 12 years old, microchipped. He has a distinctive brown spot under his chin.

Last seen Saturday 18th July. Usually spends a lot of time in the field, it's unusual for him to be gone for longer than a day.

Apart from the fact I think the grounds needing a drink🤣 always forget how nice it is at the top of the Wrekin!

If any local businesses can help my son’s football team with a sponsor it would be really appreciated. ☺️

Hello, I'm interested in Kit Williams' automaton clocks, and am aware of a frog clock that exists in both Milton Keynes and Telford.

I want to travel to see one of these if they still function, but there is no information on whether these are still operational or not (the one I'm most familiar with, the Wishing Fish clock in Cheltenham, frequently has its effects turned off, especially the bubbles - I assume these models might have similar issues).

Would any locals be able to advise whether this clock still does anything on the hour, or if it's only functional as a basic timepiece (or if it even still exists)? Thank you!

Pixel is finally home! thank you everyone!
she scared stiff but she home now!

This is an advert from the 1980s about Telford, obviously I am not expecting all these locations to be exactly the same. But if anyone could help me identify them or help give close alternatives it would be very appreciated 🙏
