Shrewsbury
Shrewsbury is the main city of Shropshire, almost enclosed completely by our favourite river, the Severn. If is the birthplace of Darwin. We first visited it on 9 June (2017).
With Shrewsbury Castle, a red sandstone fortification of 11th century.
View of the Severn from the castle.
This beautiful castle that neatly contrasts with the blooming greenery, was built by the first Earl of Shrewsbury.
Julia looking like Malcolm McDowell.
Shrewsbury is rich of timber-frame houses.
Julia at N°10.
Quality of life is great, with a magnificent park,
which of course was Julia's favourite.
So we had to spend a lot of time there.
Shortly after successfully abducting her away.
The brick-part of the city.
Which also has its own charm.
Although it does not compete with the medieval buildings,
that are plentiful in the centre, with over 660 listed buildings.
An interesting steeple, from the St Mary's Church.
It is a redundant church (not in use) despite being the largest one in the city.
Looking for a detail of the stained glasses.
If you didn't know the church was redundant, you'd probably not notice it.
Back among timber houses,
That come under all shapes and sizes.
The Severn, as pretty as always.
