Hollyhurst[1] is an area in the civil parish of Oakengates, in the Telford and Wrekin borough in Shropshire, England. Hollyhurst is also the name of a single-seat electoral ward of Oakengates Town Council.[2] It is bordered by the A442, B4372, New Road and Stafford Road.[3][4] It lies south of the village of Trench, west of Wrockwardine Wood and north of Wombridge. Nearby towns include Oakengates, Telford and Wellington, as well as the villages and areas of Hadley, Ketley and Donnington. The nearest railway station is Oakengates.[4] Hollyhurst is predominantly residential. An Ordnance Survey Map published in 1903 shows it to have been the site of Wombridge Iron Works and a sand pit.[5]
