Madeley is a historic parish on the edge of Telford and Wrekin, England, traditionally part of Shropshire. Sitting close to the dramatic gorge carved by the River Severn, it borders the Ironbridge Gorge World Heritage area and was a key centre for coal mining and ironworking during the Industrial Revolution, with strong links to nearby Coalbrookdale.
Today Madeley blends heritage and everyday village life: manor houses and rows of miners’ cottages sit alongside modern housing and local shops, while community organisations, schools and events keep a lively social scene. Many residents commute into Telford and the wider region, yet the parish remains popular with walkers and history enthusiasts exploring the river valley and industrial heritage trails.
