Trench is a suburb of the new town of Telford in the borough of Telford and Wrekin and ceremonial county of Shropshire, England, on the north side of the town, north of Oakengates.
It was once the site of an inclined plane connecting the now-abandoned Shrewsbury Canal and a smaller canal, the Wombridge Canal, 75 feet higher in elevation and part of the east Shropshire canal network. The Trench Inclined Plane ceased operations in 1921 having been built in 1793. It was the last working canal inclined plane in the United Kingdom.
The town is also a stronghold for supporters of Wolverhampton Wanderers with a bus travelling to all Wolves away games picking up at Trench, see telfordwolves.com
