It has seen expansion since the building of the then-new town of Telford and the wider Telford and Wrekin borough around the outlying towns Wellington, Telford, Dawley and Oakengates. As well as the villages of Hadley, Ketley, Trench and Donnington.
Amenities
Leegomery is primarily residential but is also notable for being the location of Millbrook Primary School.. Its closest retail and industrial centres are in nearby Hadley, Wellington and Telford. Leegomery itself is also close to the Princess Royal Hospital in the town of Wellington.
Leegomery Mill
Leegomery Mill is a historic mill, located on Halifax Drive and is a Grade II listed building. It was badly damaged by a fire around the 1970s and 1980s. It has since been restored and is now a private residence.
Transport
The village is close to the Wolverhampton - Shrewsbury line with the nearest railway stations being Wellington, Telford Central and Oakengates. Historically, nearby Hadley was served by a railway station on the former Stafford - Shrewbury Line and Coalport Branch Line's. Both these lines closed between the 1930s and 1960s. However, a section between Wellington and Donnington on the former Shrewsbury - Stafford line remains open for freight to the nearby Telford International Railfreight Park. The village is also served by buses connecting it to the towns of Telford, Wellington, Madeley and Newport. As well as local and circular bus routes.
