About Market Drayton
Market Drayton is on the River Tern, between Shrewsbury and Stoke-on-Trent. Formerly known as "Drayton in Hales" (c. 1868) and earlier simply as "Drayton" (c. 1695). The town is on the Shropshire Union Canal, and the National Cycle Route 75. The A53 road by-passes the town. There have been recent developments in the town including an Argos and Wilkinsons which have both created jobs in the town.
The town is promoted as 'the home of gingerbread'. The oldest recorded mention goes back to 1793. At its peak, the traditional biscuity gingerbread, which contained rum, was made by four bakers in the town. Today the leading maker is Image on Food, who produce nearly one million novelty gingerbread figures for Britain's leading retailers. It is also home to Palethorpes, producing pork pies, hot eating pies, sausage rolls and other chilled pastry products and the Müller Dairies making yoghurts.
Market Drayton is nearly the most central town in England - if one draws a rectangle just touching the north, south, east and west extremities of the country (including the Isles of Scilly), the central point falls about two miles south of the town, near Woodseaves.
