Shrewsbury

Shrewsbury is the county town of Shropshire. It stands on a hill in a bend of the River Severn in the midst of its county, if grown from its original historic heart and trespassing over that broad water. Shrewsbury is the second largest town in the county, after Telford.

This is a historic market town, the town centre built on its original mediæval street plan and with 660 historic listed buildings.
