Situation
Benthall is a village style community located on the extreme western edge of Broseley in pleasant semi-rural surroundings.
Broseley is an attractive small early industrial town set in pleasant rural surroundings with a bustling High Street and town centre, which provide very adequate everyday needs including a post office, bank, library, doctor’s surgery, primary schools and local shops. It has many historical connections with the Industrial Revolution in the 18th and 19th centuries, which has resulted in an interesting mix of architectural styles. It was also world famous for the production of smoker’s clay pipes with the Pipe Museum tracing the history of the industry. It is some two miles from the World Heritage Site of Ironbridge where the world’s first Iron Bridge was constructed in 1779 and Telford town centre, with its excellent range of amenities is some seven miles to the north.
Bridge Road comprises a pleasant mix of varying styles of period property together with some small amounts of individual more modern housing.
