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.
