Today we are going to look at some of the listed buildings in Shrewsbury, most built between the late 14th and late 16th centuries.
Claim to fame
Tudor Rose
Holding Up!

Up lifting
No.20
Some shots now from the Rollei SL35 with a roll of Kodak Portra in it.
The Square. Statue of Maj Gen. Robert Clive, conqueror of British India, was both an MP and mayor of the town.
Coffee House
Bear Steps. There was once a pub in Shrewsbury called The Bear, which no longer exists. However, across the road are the Bear Steps, which keep the name retained in Shrewsbury history.
Your black background shows up every speck, splash, and smear on my monitor screen! I just spent ages trying to clean it, using a lens-cleaning cloth. Now it’s all smeary! Grrr… Any ideas what is best to use for cleaning monitor screens?
Nice shots, by the way. 🙂
Best wishes, Pete.
Pete I can’t find my brand of screen cleaner on sale anywhere (I’ve had it a few years! 🙂 but there are equivalents on amazon, so long as it says TFT/LCD screen cleaner on it you’ll get the right thing.
Hey fragg.. great! I liked all your photos. However, the steps. The steps really set the age of that place. Perfectly. Not many would have thought to point their camera at that location.
They knew how to make houses that stand out back in the 14th and 16th centuries. It’s mind bugling to think about how old these house are. And still beautiful and so well kept. Gorgeous photos as always.
I’m glad to hear there is more to come, Fraggle. I can’t help being amazed by the idea of so many buildings that are that old, in one place. And still standing. It must have the most extraordinary “vibe.” I loved your photo of the Bear Stairs too.
Hugs on the wing.

Mmm… now you have got me. Where is the house with the writing on? Must have missed that.

Ah, got it I think. St Alkmund Square – the private house in the corner. Of course I didn’t go so close up to it to capture the detail 😀

The autumnal light obviously suits those buildings. They look gorgeous. I must definitely have a wander next time I’m there.
