Share your own memories of Dawley Bank and read what others have said

For many years now, we've been inviting visitors to our web site to add their own memories to share their experiences of life as it was when the photographs in our archive were taken. From brief one-liners explaining a little bit more about the image depicted, to great, in-depth accounts of a childhood when things were rather different than today (and everything inbetween!). We've had many contributors recognising themselves or loved ones in our photographs.

Why not add your memory today and become part of our Memories Community to help others in the future delve back into their past.

My late grandparents and mother were all born in Dawley. I remember as a small child the electric green milk float bearing the name W.Oakes & Son that used to serve the area at the time, FAW 145 was the registation. A chap called Jimmy used to deliver the milk to New Road in Dawley. Great times from an era sadly gone forever.
It used to be all fields around Dawley Bank before thay started building houses and Telford town centre. When we were kids, we could play out all over the place without any threat to us, we could build camps in the woods and Tarzan swings. Plus we could go scrumbing, we used to go down to No Man's Land, which was Iron Bridge as it was known then.
