Shrewsbury is the county town of Shropshire, England. Shrewsbury is a market town whose centre has a largely unaltered 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 has historically been a centre for the wool trade and brewing. Horticulture remains popular, and the Shrewsbury Flower Show is one of the largest horticultural events in England.
Located 9 miles (14 km) east of the Welsh border, Shrewsbury 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 cross near to the town, and five railway lines meet at Shrewsbury railway station.
Shrewsbury is about 14 miles (23 km) west of Telford, 43 miles (69 km) west of Birmingham and the West Midlands Conurbation, and about 153 miles (246 km) north-west of the capital, London. More locally, the town is to the east of Welshpool, with Bridgnorth and Kidderminster to the south-east. The border with Wales is 9 miles (14 km) to the west. The town centre is partially built on a hill whose elevation is, at its highest, 246 feet (75 m) above sea level. The longest river in the UK, the River Severn, flows through the town, forming a meander around its centre.
Shrewsbury is the county's public transport hub and has road and rail links to the rest of the county and country. Five railway lines connect the town to most corners of Shropshire and the region, and the town is known as the Gateway to Wales. Shrewsbury railway station is served by Arriva Trains Wales and London Midland with trains running north to Chester, Manchester, Crewe and Wrexham, south to Hereford and Cardiff, west to Aberystwyth, and east to Birmingham via Telford, Shifnal, and Wolverhampton.

The young people, from Shrewsbury College, featured here have engaged with the history and origins of collections and archive material from Shrewsbury Museum & Art Gallery. By tracking the migration of ideas and objects and giving individual responses to the stories of particular objects selected, they reveal their own relationships with the wider world. The film evidences moments of recognition of identity, community and cultural exchange.
Jill Impey's work focuses on the dissolution of borders and boundaries and the recognition of the human through communication of our collective history of migration.

A weekend in Shrewsbury
A weekend in Shrewsbury, exploring this beautiful English town during the Darwin festival. I took my two young boys along for the ride and we took a river cruise down the Severn river, visited the Music Hall/Shrewsbury Museum that had a Lego Brick exhibition. We also checked out Shrewsbury Abbey, found Darwins Statue and took in all the medieval delights. We stayed at the stylish Lion and Pheasant boutique hotel.

Shrewsbury Flaxmill Maltings
Shrewsbury Flaxmill was the first building in the world to have an iron frame and its British design gave birth to the modern skyscraper.
During the Industrial Revolution, the new spinning mill quickly became Shrewsbury’s largest employer with more than 800 men, women and children working there manufacturing linen thread from flax.
Later the building reopened to produce malt for the brewing industry and part of the building served as a barracks for soldiers during the Second World War.
The buildings haven’t been used since the 1980s, and have fallen into decline. In 2005 Historic England (then English Heritage) stepped in to stabilise them and carry out urgent repairs. The first milestone in the restoration was in 2015 when, with investment from Historic England and the European Regional Development Fund, the Grade II listed office and stables were converted into a small exhibition and visitor centre.
Now a £20.7m grant from National Lottery players through the Heritage Lottery Fund combined with funding from Historic England, Shropshire Council and the Friends of the Flaxmill Maltings, is enabling the restoration of the Grade I listed Main Mill and the Grade II Kiln, creating a new learning and enterprise quarter for Shrewsbury. The work is currently scheduled to be completed in 2021
