Stylish window shutters, sometimes referred to as plantation blinds, are becoming ever more popular in the Madeley area as they come in such a wide range of colours.

About Madeley

With the River Severn running just to the south of the town, Madeley is also circumnavigated by the A442 which runs from the north of Telford right down to Kidderminster. The area has strong ties with heavy industry, with nearby Ironbridge Gorge, Bedlam Furnaces and Jackfield Tile Museum showing a much more intensive history to the area than the sleepy high street of Madeley currently implies.

Madeley was home to a workhouse from the end of the 17^th century onwards, when it used to farm poor people to other nearby institutions, so pressure was put on the parish to provide facilities. There was some scandal around the Madeley workhouse when it emerged that it was sending boys as young as 8 to be apprenticed as miners. Following its closure, the buildings have been used as a local hospital, care home, and in 2018 were converted into private apartments.

During the 1970s, there was significant construction work carried out, building new housing and recreation areas as part of the development of Telford New Town, forming a town from a series of smaller villages. In 1960, social campaigner Mary Whitehouse began teaching art at Madeley Modern School (now known as the Abraham Dardy Academy). It was after taking responsibility for sex education at Madeley that Whitehouse became shocked by what she saw as declining moral standards, inspiring her to start a letter campaign against the BBC.
