Around Oakengates.
Oakengates is an old industrial town that became one of the centres absorbed into Telford new town, keeping its own high street and a theatre that draws audiences from across the borough. It is surrounded by former mining and iron-working communities with lots of older terraced housing, alongside newer estates at Priorslee. Customers here think in terms of their own district rather than Telford as a whole, so naming St Georges, Wrockwardine Wood and Ketley alongside Oakengates helps you appear locally.
