A long row of prefab bungalows, probably built in the 1960s under the auspices of the Telford Development Corporation, on Station Road in Madeley. If the date of erection is correct, they are probably the 'Mowlem' model, built of cast in-situ concrete and a tiled roof.

Dating from 1833, and originally erected as a Wesleyan Chapel, this became a 'Poor School' in 1841, and then a Church of England Infants' School between 1853 and 1965. It was Grade II listed https://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101033276-infant-school-madeley#.WuMdgNQrLGg in 1983, and is now a private residence.

The plaque on the gable (hidden by the small tree) tells us this was erected in 1851; it now appears to be a private house.

Rather more ancient than the brick street frontage suggests. The central (timber-framed) part is thought to be a medieval cruck-framed, 2-bay hall house, into which a half-height floor has subsequently been inserted, thereby creating first floor rooms. The brick parts at the near and far end are somewhat more recent, i.e. 18th or 19th century, and include a small shop frontage which is currently trading as a jeweller.
