History: New York Times Perspective
The feature on Telford from an April 1975 edition of The New York Times was a surprise entry in the Telford Scrapbook of John Steele, scanned by Michelle Jones. I really doubt many people in Telford will have seen this until now.
This was written 2 years after the Blists Hill Museum was opened, and the writer suggests an hour to walk round. How things change!
Suggesting a stay in the Valley Hotel for $12 a night.

I was so shocked to see that Telford got a mention in the NYT! Wonder if they were trying to use it to encourage migration?
You can spend a worthwhile hour just queueing for bread and fish and chips now 🙂
