Lawley Bank is a historic mining village in the borough of Telford and Wrekin in Shropshire, England. It is located northwest of the town of Dawley and west of the town of Telford. It is part of the civil parish of Lawley and Overdale.

History

Lawley Bank was built on the Shropshire Coalfield alongside the neighbouring village of Dawley Bank during the Industrial Revolution. There were multiple types of industry including concrete plants, brickworks and factories opening in and around the village. The village later became part of the Dawley New Town in 1963, which later became Telford.

Amenities

Most of the villages amenities are located on Birchfield Way. There is a memorial to 2nd Lieutenant Clifford Wallace Jensen, who was killed in during World War II and was based at the former RAF Atcham, near Shrewsbury. The memorial straddles the boundary between Lawley Bank and Dawley Bank.

Transport

There are regular buses through the village between Telford, Shrewsbury and Madeley.

The village was also formerly served by the Wellington to Craven Arms Railway with a railway station on Station Road. This is now occupied by housing estates.
