Shrewsbury is is the county town of Shropshire, England. The town is on the River Severn.
It is a market town whose centre has a largely unspoilt medieval street plan and over 660 listed buildings, including several examples of timber framing from the 15th and 16th centuries. Shrewsbury Castle, a red sandstone fortification, and Shrewsbury Abbey, a former Benedictine monastery, were founded in 1074 and 1083 respectively by the Norman Earl of Shrewsbury, Roger de Montgomery. The town is the birthplace of Charles Darwin and is where he spent 27 years of his life.
Shrewsbury can be found 9 miles (14 km) east of the Welsh border, and it serves as the commercial centre for Shropshire and mid-Wales, with a retail output of over £299 million per year and light industry and distribution centres, such as Battlefield Enterprise Park, on the outskirts.
The A5 and A49 trunk roads come together as the town's by-pass, and five railway lines meet at Shrewsbury railway station.
The town is located 150 miles (240 km) north-west of London, far enough away from the Smoke to be interesting.
Shrewsbury's known history commences in the Early Middle Ages, having been founded c. 800 AD. It is believed that Anglo-Saxon Shrewsbury was most probably a settlement fortified through the use of earthworks comprising a ditch and rampart, which were then shored up with a wooden stockade. There is evidence to show that by the beginning of the 900s, Shrewsbury was home to a mint.
The Welsh besieged it in 1069, but were repelled by William the Conqueror. Roger de Montgomery was given the town as a gift from William, and built Shrewsbury Castle in 1074, taking the title of Earl. He founded Shrewsbury Abbey as a Benedictine monastery in 1083. The 3rd Earl, Robert of Bellême, was deposed in 1102 and the title forfeited, in consequence of rebelling against Henry I and joining the Duke of Normandy's invasion of England in 1101. In 1138, King Stephen successfully besieged the castle held by William FitzAlan for the Empress Maud during the period known as the Anarchy.
It was in the late Middle Ages (14th and 15th centuries) when the town was at its height of commercial importance. This was mainly due to the wool trade, a major industry at the time, with the rest of Britain and Europe, especially with the River Severn and Watling Street as trading routes. The Shrewsbury Drapers Company dominated the trade in Welsh wool for many years.
In 1403 the Battle of Shrewsbury was fought a few miles north of the town centre, at Battlefield. It was fought between King Henry IV and Henry Hotspur Percy, with the King emerging victorious, an event celebrated in William Shakespeare's Henry IV, Part 1, Act 5.
Shrewsbury has also played a part in Western intellectual history, by being the town where the naturalist Charles Darwin was born and raised. The town is also home to the Ditherington Flax Mill, the world's first iron-framed building, which is commonly regarded as the grandfather of the skyscraper. Its importance was officially recognised in the 1950s, resulting in it becoming a Grade I listed building.
Shrewsbury, in the Industrial Revolution was also on the Shrewsbury Canal, which linked it with the Shropshire Canal and the rest of the canal network of Great Britain. Despite this, Shrewsbury escaped much of the industrialisation taking place in 19th century Britain due to its isolation from other large manufacturing towns and ports.
The core content contained in the above combined articles, was originally written by several A.N. Others + myself, then combined. It was then all re-formatted, re-edited, with the spelling & grammar corrected, then added to where pertinent, before being updated by me, myself, and I, to suit this subject matter more exclusively.

Canoeing on the River Severn - Coundland to Ironbridge
We have set out to canoe the navigable section of the river Severn from Pool Quay to Stourport on Severn. In September 2014 we travelled from Shrewsbury weir to Ironbridge over a period of two days, stopping of at Atcham, Cound, and Buildwas on the way.
This is a video journal of our trip, enjoy and comment.
The River Severn is Britain’s longest river, at roughly 354 kilometres (220 miles). It rises at an altitude of 610 metres (2,000 feet) on Plynlimon near Llanidloes, Powys, in the Cambrian Mountains of mid Wales, and flows through Shropshire, Worcestershire and Gloucestershire, with the county cities of Shrewsbury, Worcester, Tewksbury and Gloucester on its banks....

DEVELOPMENT AND LOCATION INFORMATION...
Sweetlake Meadow, located in the Shropshire market town of Shrewsbury, is a development of 173 new 2, 3 and 4 bedroom homes. Two of Shropshire’s top rated state-funded secondary schools are located within walking distance.
About Shrewsbury
With a population of around 75,000 Shrewsbury is the county town for Shropshire. Set amidst glorious countryside near to the Welsh borders, it is one of England’s finest medieval market towns. The stunning town centre is packed with timber-framed black and white buildings, steep narrow streets and alleyways all home to independent shops, high street retailers, bars and cafes – making it a beautiful yet lively and social town.
The River Severn forms a loop around the town centre offering riverside walks or pleasure boat trips. Renowned as the ‘town of flowers’ Shrewsbury was awarded Gold in the 2016 Heart of England in Bloom competition highlighting the beauty of Quarry Park, location for the annual Shrewsbury Flower Show.
If you are new to the county you will quickly see that Shrewsbury is easily accessible by road as it is connected to the M6 and motorway network via the M54. Sweetlake Meadow is also ideally located to take advantage of the county’s rail network with direct routes running north to Chester, Manchester, Crewe and Wrexham, south to Hereford and Cardiff, west to Aberystwyth, and east to Birmingham, plus a direct rail service to London Euston taking just over 2 1/2 hours.
