Wombridge
Wombridge (alternatively Wambridge[1]) is a former parish in the Wellington Division of the hundred of Bradford South in the Telford and Wrekin district of the county of Shropshire, England. [2][3][1]. It is 4 miles (6.4 km) east of Wellington, 2 miles (3.2 km) northeast of Telford, [4] and 16 miles (26 km) from Shrewsbury,[5] covering 699 acres (283 ha).[5]
Wombridge civil parish ceased to exist in 1898, Shropshire County Council (via the Local Government Board) abolishing it and replacing it with Oakengates Urban District,[6][7] which in its turn was replaced by the town of Telford, that was built as a new town in the 1960s.[a][9]
It is now an area in the borough of Telford and Wrekin, with a parish church and an eponymous primary school.
