In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Coalport like this:
COALPORT, a village in Broseley parish, Salop; on the Severn Valley railway, at the southern terminus of the Wellington and Severn Junction railway, 2 miles SSE of Ironbridge, and 8 by road, but 9½ by railway, SSE of Wellington. It has a station on both of the railways, a post office under Wellington, Salop, and an extensive porcelain pottery.
Coalport is now part of TELFORD AND WREKIN Unitary Authority. Click here for graphs and data of how TELFORD AND WREKIN has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Coalport itself, go to Statistics.
