Dawley Library
This new brick building replaced the previous library, a tired temporary structure that was nevertheless an historic building: the first office of the planners of Dawley New Town (later the Telford Development Corporation). See Image for further details. The Telford Development Corporation then spent many years in Priorslee Hall Image

Memorial to Captain Webb
Capt Matthew Webb, a Dawley man, was born in 1848, and became the first man to swim the English Channel in 1875. He died a few years later in what is best described as a 'less well advised' attempt to swim through a set of rapids below the Niagara Falls. The memorial here was erected in 1909, and is now Grade II listed https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101206663-monument-to-captain-webb-great-dawley#.X2Ue5WhKjIU & https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1206663

Paddock Mound, Dawley
This is the site of the first offices of the Inland Revenue computerisation project in Telford. In the early 1980s it was housed in temporary buildings on this mound until purpose-built accommodation nearer the new town centre was available. Old hands (and there are precious few left) still refer to the 'Dawley days'. The buildings here passed into use by small businesses and have now been removed. Only the concrete rafts remain.
Government computerisation was privatised in the 1990s but the successor (now working for Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs) occupies many buildings in Telford and is a major employer in the town.
