Snedshill is a village in the Telford and Wrekin borough in Shropshire, England. It forms part of the St George's and Priorslee civil parish alongside Central Park, Priorslee, Redhill, St George's and St George's West.

History

The site of the former Snedshill Brick Works and skyline of Telford.

The village was originally nothing more than a woodland and it was until the arrival of the Lilleshall Company and its mineral railway that the area around Snedshill and Mumpton Hill was developed with houses, industries and roads. There was also a brickworks owned by the Lilleshall Company that was located in the village. It employed people from the local areas until its closure in 1966. Snedshill was also close to the 1821 Cinderloo Uprising where the chairman of the Snedshill Furnaces was involved.

Present day

Snedshill is a predominantly residential village with some local shopping amenities and is also close Stafford Park which is a mix of industrial and retail.

Transport

The village is close to the Wolverhampton - Shrewsbury line with the nearest railway stations being Oakengates and nearby Shifnal. The village is also close to the route of the original Watling Street which runs until the Lime Kiln Bank Roundabout. It then mostly disappears under the many areas of Telford until it resumes past nearby Wellington. There are also regular buses connecting the village to Telford and Wellington.
