Oakengates is a compact town and civil parish in the borough of Telford and Wrekin, historic Shropshire, lying just east of central Telford. It has a small town centre with shops and a market atmosphere, backed by a railway station that links the locality with nearby towns and the wider West Midlands conurbation.
Historically the area shares in the region’s industrial past, with strong ties to coal and ironworking that echo the nearby Ironbridge Gorge landscape famed for the Industrial Revolution. Today Oakengates feels like a mixed residential and light‑industrial community with local civic facilities, community events and independent retailers that sit alongside newer developments tied into the economy of Telford.
