The area around Dawley.

Dawley is one of the older industrial towns absorbed into Telford new town, with a heritage tied to coal and iron and famous as the birthplace of Captain Webb, the first person to swim the Channel. It has a small high street and a mix of older terraces and modern estates. Customers want reliable trades and are used to comparing firms across Telford. A website should name Lawley, Malinslee and Horsehay, which are the areas people search for.

Telford (1 mile) and Oakengates (2 miles) are the nearest in the same council area. Across the boundary into the next council area, Broseley (3 miles), Much Wenlock (6 miles) and Bridgnorth (9 miles) are also close.
