  • st georges square, whats the point? wait outside any school gates in a rusty nova with a loud exhaust and soon enough a load of 14-16 year old tjs will get in da bak!!   
  • The town park- just about any bench/play equipment will be occupied by some under-age folk.   
  • If you try and find "Telford" you will not because it is really a group of small towns circled by endless roundabouts and motorways. The nearest thing to a town or city centre is a shopping mall which has most of the major chain stores.   
  • hadley centre   
  • The busiest place i have found is the job centre, always full of people signing on go figure!...   
  • Around any bus stop, or bench or one metre square area that happens to be spare is where all the loudmouth little gits meet up. slappers and beer heads tend to meet at the cally   
  • The problem with most of the kids that have posted on this bit are the people who give this town a reputation, Telford is a good, large, clean, safe town with great potential. Stop sniffing glue and do somthing with your lives and maybe you wont be so bored.   
  • Well sugar rays in wellington and the "cally" in oakengates are current "half dressed, under aged, over made up " slapper hangout, very sad, good for a fight tho   
  • Near the old railway bridges in Town Park, always full of underage turds sniffing glue.   
  • Outside Magistrate's Court and Southwater Square. Both good for street. Undercover banks at Oakengates.   
  • Kappa Slappas congregate around the fountain in the shopping centre opposite WHSmiths and Next-avoid at all cost, especially on a Saturday!   
  • Well, bottom of Station Hill if you are a sad teenager with nothing else to spend money buy booze   
  • telford town park also ice rink and meeting point house for coffee

What is Knowhere?

The Knowhere Guide started out as a list of places to skateboard in the UK. It is a compilation of (unedited) information and views supplied by users like yourself. It is not a conventional tourist guide!

In most cases, the information in each section has been submitted by more than one contributor (the credits at the bottom of the page list some, but not all, of the contributors) and some of it dates back to the 1970s.

We make no claims as to the accuracy of the information in the Guide - our only purpose is to provide a forum for users to share their knowledge and opinions. So please keep a large bag of salt handy and be prepared to read between the lines!

If you disagree with a comment, or information is out of date, please submit an update! The contributors come from all walks of life, and their opinions are bound to be subjective, so if your view isn't represented, please speak up and contribute to the balance of the Guide. See below in the 'Have Your Say' section for how to add your voice.


Have Your Say...

The Knowhere Guide depends entirely on real users for information. Please feel free to join in.

You can tell us more about Telford. This is also the method to use if you want to correct some of the information already here. (But please remember you're not mailing the person who actually wrote whatever-it-is.)

You can use the add an event form to tell us about events happening in Telford.

If you are unhappy with any of the content on this page, turn on the flags.

Or, if you'd just like to leave a message for other users of this site, take a look at The Knowhere Board (handy if you're just trying to get in touch with someone).
