Oakengates
Oakengates is a town in Shropshire, England and now forms part of the new town of Telford. The name has nothing to do with Oak or Gates but is derived from the Ancient Roman name for the valley which was Usc-con and from the medieval word 'gait' meaning boundary. So Usc-con gait is at the boundary of the vale of Usc-con. A history of Oakengates was written by local historian Reverend Cartlidge whose name is commemorated in the name of the retirement home Cartlidge House.
