About Dawley

Dawley is a historic civil parish and former mining town located within the borough of Telford and Wrekin, Shropshire. Notably mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086, it was initially slated to be the focal point of the 'Dawley New Town' project in 1963, which ultimately evolved into what is now Telford. The town is comprised of two distinct areas: Dawley Magna and Little Dawley, making it an intriguing site for planning applications given its rich history and ongoing development potential.

In terms of safety, there were no crimes reported in the immediate area during the most recent reporting period (September 2026). This makes Dawley a particularly low-crime area, which is often reflected in its desirability and property values.
