The New Bucks Head is a football stadium in the town of Wellington near Telford in Shropshire. It is home to AFC Telford Utd, a football team which plays in the English National League North, the 6th tier of football in England. The club was formed in 2004 after the original Telford Utd went into liquidation although construction of the New Bucks Head stadium had begun in 2000. The original plan for the stadium was a bold one and included a hotel adjoining the ground with a walkway across to conference facilities in what is now the Brasserie corner of the West Stand. The hotel/conference facility was intended to provide funds for the football club but this plan was shelved and the hotel sold off to become a seperate business, the Telford Whitehouse Hotel, at this point the walkway to the stadium was removed. As it is the ground is considered to be one of the best 'non-league' stadiums in England and has played host to Wolverhampton Wanderers Reserves as well as some U19s and U16s international matches.
The model includes both the New Bucks Head Ground and the Telford Whitehouse Hotel. Those who frequent the ground on a regular basis may notice some creative licence has been used to level off the ground surrounding the stadium; in reality the land behind the Jack Bentley Terrace sits higher than it is in front of the main West Stand with a noticeable slope around the corner of the West Stand/David Hutchison Stand. This is awkward for a novice scenery designer to achieve hence the levelling off of the ground.

Excellent! Nice to see some love for my local area. Will you be doing more landmarks for Shrewsbury/Telford?

Hi there, thanks for the comment. There's plenty of stuff to model in and around Telford to get stuck into, but the next thing I need to do is try and fix the overlap in my Cosford scenery with that of another one. Not sure how thats going to pan out, could take a while depending on how much I have to build.
