The building was renamed after the builder of the nearby Menai Suspension Bridge, Thomas Telford.

Robert Stephenson was born in 1803, and developed the most advanced steam engine of its day, 'The Rocket', when only 25 years old. He went on to be involved in building one third of the railways in Britain, and designed numerous bridges, including the revolutionary tubular Britannia Bridge over the Menai Strait, which opened in 1850.
