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.

Shrewsbury town Centre, Shropshire, England, UK
Snapshots taken on my visit to Shrewsbury town centre. These various shots were taken in 2011.
Extract info from Wikipedia
Shrewsbury is the county town of Shropshire, in the West Midlands region of England. Lying on the River Severn, the UK Parliament constituency of Shrewsbury and Atcham is home to some 102,234 inhabitants, whilst the town of Shrewsbury itself has a population of approximately 82,000 and is the primary settlement and headquarters of Shropshire Council. It is the second largest town in the ceremonial county of Shropshire, after Telford.
Shrewsbury is an historic market town with the town centre having a largely unaltered medieval street plan. The town features over 660 historic listed buildings, including several examples of timber framing from the 15th and 16th century. Shrewsbury Castle, a red sandstone castle 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 hosts one of the oldest and largest horticultural events in the country, Shrewsbury Flower Show, and is known for its floral displays, having won various awards since the turn of the 21st century,[9][10] including Britain in Bloom in 2006.
Today, 9 miles (14 km) east of the Welsh border, Shrewsbury serves as a cultural and commercial centre for the ceremonial county and a large area of mid-Wales, with retail output alone worth over £299 million per year. There are some light industry and distribution centres, such as Battlefield Enterprise Park, mainly on the outskirts. The A5 and A49 trunk roads cross near to the town, as do five railway lines at Shrewsbury railway station.
The town was possibly the site of the capital of Powys, known to the ancient Britons as Pengwern, signifying the alder hill;and in Old English as Scrobbesburh (dative Scrobbesbyrig), which has several meanings; fort in the scrub-land region, Scrobb's fort, shrubstown or the town of the bushes.This name gradually evolved in three directions, into Sciropscire, which became Shropshire; into Sloppesberie, which became Salop/Salopia (an alternative name for both town and county), and into Schrosberie, which eventually became the town's name, Shrewsbury. Its Welsh name Amwythig means fortified place.
It is believed that Anglo-Saxon Shrewsbury was most probably a settlement fortified through the use of earthworks compromising a ditch and rampart, which were then shored up with a wooden stockade.
Nearby is the village of Wroxeter, 5 miles (8 km) to the south-west, site of the now ruined Roman city of Viroconium Cornoviorum. Viroconium was the fourth largest civitas capital in Roman Britain. As Caer Guricon it may have served as the early Dark Age capital of the kingdom of Powys. The Shrewsbury area's regional importance in the Roman era was recently underlined with the discovery of the Shrewsbury Hoard in 2009.
Medieval
Shrewsbury Castle was the traditional seat of the borough council and was used, as such, for councillors' meetings until 1981.
Shrewsbury is known as a town with significant medieval heritage, having been founded ca. 800 AD. It was in the late Middle Ages (14th/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.
Over the ages, the geographically important town has been the site of many conflicts, particularly between the English and Welsh. Shrewsbury was the seat of the Princes of Powis for many years; however, the Angles, under King Offa of Mercia, took possession of it in 778. The Welsh again 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. The 3rd Earl, Robert of Bellême was deposed in 1102, in consequence of taking part in the rebellion against Henry I.[13] 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,[20] an event celebrated in William Shakespeare's Henry IV, Part 1, Act 5.

My sheer hate for the monument to charles Darwin in shrewsbury UK
I am sharing my opinion of my sheer hate for the monument to remember his 250 anniversary of his birth which I did not mention in the video soz guys lol . I but I feel strongly it does actknowage his acheivements on how evolution evolved or how its celebrates life in anyway or form. I feel 350.000 quid could have spend on scholarships or something that helps people in some way or form. because the way the monument is built its open to be vandalised or wreaked in some way I know many other people from Shrewsbury UK hate it contest the peace and how it looks out of place where its been put I just wish that the the people who asked to put that monstrosity there would of asked the people of Shrewsbury of what they would of liked as most people like myself hate the supposing art piece if you call it that remains to be seen. But what a waste of time and money on a stone circle what a waste. I am just saying my opinion on the piece end of story. Also guys I have denied you guys to embed this video as I feel its should be my opinion and my opinion alone

The Proclaimers at Theatre Severn, Shrewsbury, England, 3 July 2010. Not a great video, but it gives an idea of the atmosphere at the gig. Even though it was a seated venue, everybody was already standing. Amazing show, like all Proclaimers shows.

Dancers step out for Shrewsbury town event
More than 400 morris dancers from all over the country transformed Shrewsbury town centre into a riot of dance and colour.
They gathered in The Square for the annual Morris Federation Day of Dance, which was being held in the town for the first time.
Hosted by the Shrewsbury Morris Dancers, teams from all over the country performed in the town centre.
Performances on Saturday were held in The Quarry, St Mary's Church, Rowley's House, at Shrewsbury Castle and at the main base for the day in Shrewsbury Baptist Church, on Claremont Street.
Town mayor Jon Tandy said: It is fantastic that people have come from all four corners of England for this event and the whole town has been buzzing with activity.
There have been over 400 morris dancers in a whole host of locations and they are absolutely everywhere -- it is so good for the town.
People and shoppers have been amazed with the whole showcase and I've even had a go myself on the drums.
I have just met some residents who heard it was on and have come into town especially to see the performances.
The music, noise, colour and fun lasted until 4pm and then yesterday another morning of free entertainment was held at the Battlefield 1403 site.

Update information on the awful monstrosity of a monument of the life of charles Darwin I have read in my local paper that the archutects are asking the shropshire council for £100.000 on top of the 350.000 they have spend to it to alter the structeral faults on the monument that the archutects have made on the monument I am pleding to the shropshire council not to prove this money as it is ludricous to spend a near half a million pounds on a monument that is open to the elements and to vandelism also it seems to me that young adults could climb on it by looking at the design and be seriously injure themselves, I pleaded to the shropshire council if they have any sense no to prove this bid for £100.000 quid as its money that could be better spent else where in my opinion. DONT APPROVE THE MONEY SHROPSHIRE COUNCIL
