Market Drayton is a market town in north Shropshire, England, on the River Tern, between Shrewsbury and Stoke-on-Trent. Formerly known as "Drayton in Hales" (c. 1868) and earlier simply as "Drayton" (c. 1695). The town is on the Shropshire Union Canal, and the National Cycle Route 75. The A53 road by-passes the town.
The town is promoted as 'the home of gingerbread.' The oldest recorded mention goes back to 1793. At its peak the traditional biscuity gingerbread, which contained rum, was made by four bakers in the town. Today the leading maker is Image on Food, *who produce nearly 1 million novelty gingerbread figures for Britain's leading retailers.
It is also home to Müller Dairies * making yoghurts and Palethorpes, producing meat pies.
