Allscott is a small village north west of Wellington, Shropshire.[1] The River Tern flows by. It falls within the parish of Wrockwardine and the borough of Telford and Wrekin. Nearby is the small village of Walcot.
The name derives of Aldescote which translates as Aldred's Cottage.[2]
In 1927, a sugar beet factory[3] (which came to be owned by British Sugar), once stood in the village and was a major local employer. One of the small steam locomotives that used to work in the factory has been preserved at the Foxfield Railway in Staffordshire. The factory buildings have been demolished since its closure[4] and in 2015, an application to build 470 homes on the site was granted permission by Telford and Wrekin Council.[5] Concerns about overcrowded roads have led to calls for a railway station to be opened on the site as it is adjacent to the Shrewsbury to Wolverhampton Line, but the developers have stated that a railway station is not in their plans.[6]
