Covering: Telford, Wellington, Ironbridge, Newport, Shifnal, Market Drayton and the rest of the TF postcode area.
The local landmark: The Iron Bridge of 1779, the world's first major cast iron bridge, spans the Severn gorge at the heart of a world heritage site.
Students: Harper Adams University, the agricultural specialist, sits just outside Newport at Edgmond.
On the ground: New town estates of cul-de-sacs and parking courts cover most of Telford, while Ironbridge clings to the gorge with steep cottage terraces. If carrying is the hard part, Assisted from £349 brings us inside, with a two-person crew when furniture or bikes are aboard (£15 per end for 2nd or 3rd floor with no lift, £30 for 4th and up).
Who makes this move: Affordable new town housing draws families west from London, and Harper Adams students move their kit at the start and end of each academic year.
While you wait for the van: Telford is one of Britain's youngest towns, designated in the 1960s and named after the engineer Thomas Telford.
