You asked a question, I sought and got the answer.So, assuming you are not winding me up, they declared it an actual new town in 1967 but the population hardly moved.
I wonder if that's when Welshie moved there so everybody moved out

I was born in one of the small towns that is now Telford, moved because of my dads work, first Banbury, then a little village in the cotswolds and then when I was about 9 , we settled in Warwick. Stayed there until I left home when I moved to Binley in Coventry. We have now lived in this house for over 30 years. We have tried to move over the years to one of the local villages ( Binley woods , wolston etc) and the the moves always broke down for various reasons . But we like the area , it’s quiet, there is a playing field and a small wood close by and we can walk out into the country side by walking though a local nature reserve plus things like shops, doctors and hospitals are all close to hand. And this second group of things start to become more important as we get older lol. Which is why , even though we now have the money to move , we decided not to move when I retired . 😀

Would I wind you up?
Born on the Wirral. Lived in New Brighton when we married.....and had a good job at Cadburys.
For a number of reasons we moved to be near MrsDs parents in Warrington..... 1969.........population 70K.
A good, friendly, market town. someone decided it should be a new town. Population now 250K
.
We live in a BIG ex RAF house. Much too big for us with 4 beds, 3 bathrooms, 3 gardens. But we love it.
@Tenkaykev do you think your mate will give us good rates as we will also be leaving in a box (or 2 boxes).

Anyway......back from the funeral.
What a horrible affair.
Only 15 allowed in the crem' and it felt cold (that might have been me though).
Must have been 50-100 stood outside.
She had 3 lads.
10 grandchildren
22 great grandchildren.
I felt a fraud sitting inside but its what the family insisted as MtsD looked after her since her hubby died** 11 years ago.
**I did the funeral for him and they have always appreciated it.
