Market Drayton is a historic market town located in north Shropshire, England. The town has a rich heritage dating back to the medieval period and is particularly known for its traditional Wednesday market that has been held since the town received its market charter in 1245.
The town earned the nickname "Gingerbread Town" due to its historic association with gingerbread making, a tradition that dates back to 1817 when the first recorded gingerbread maker established their business here. The town center features numerous historical buildings, including the timber-framed structures along Cheshire Street, and the 14th-century St. Mary's Church.
Market Drayton's cultural heritage is closely tied to its role as a market town serving the surrounding agricultural communities, and its position along the Shropshire Union Canal which played a significant role in its industrial development during the 19th century.
