Selling a socket set in Telford
Telford is a new town named after the engineer, built across the coalfield next to the gorge where the industrial revolution began — the first iron bridge in the world is a few miles away. It is spread out and built around industrial estates and housing districts.
Manufacturing and distribution employment moves contract households in and out, and the new-town housing means furniture is replaced rather than kept. Larger gardens mean outdoor equipment turns over steadily.
The town is a set of districts connected by dual carriageways rather than a single centre, so agree which district. Driving is easy and parking is not a constraint.
Telford, in England, has around 142,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. London, Birmingham and Leeds are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Telford
