Shrewsbury is the county town of Shropshire, it is a market town and the commercial centre for the county and for mid-Wales. It stands on the River Severn, and its centre is almost surrounded by a large curve in the river. The oldest substantial surviving buildings in the town are Shrewsbury Castle and Shrewsbury Abbey, together with a number of churches and the town walls. The town flourished commercially during the 13th century, mainly from the wool trade, and a number of friaries were founded. Two major bridges were built, the Welsh Bridge at the north of the town, linking its centre with the suburb of Frankwell, and the English Bridge to the east, linking with the abbey and the suburb of Abbey Foregate. Following a decline in fortune during the 15th century, trade revived during the later 16th century, mainly from Welsh cloth, and impressive houses were built, most of which were timber framed. There was particular growth during the 18th century, when more impressive properties and public buildings were constructed, now in brick. A public park was created on the site of a former quarry, and named appropriately The Quarry. There was little heavy industry in the town, but at the end of the 18th century Ditherington Flax Mill was built, the first fully iron-framed building in the world. At the same time, the Shrewsbury Canal was opened, and the railway arrived in the town in 1848. There was further development during the 19th century in the town centre and the suburbs. Shrewsbury School, originally a grammar school in the town centre, moved to a new site south of the river in 1882, and has become an independent school. During the 20th century there has been continuing development in and around the town.[1]
Due to the large number of listed buildings, they have been divided into three lists, based on geographical areas. The central area of the town is almost surrounded by the river, and this has been split into two lists, divided by the roads running from the southwest to the northeast, named respectively St John's Hill, Shoplatch, Pride Hill, Castle Street, Castle Gates, and Castle Foregate. This list contains the listed buildings in the areas outside the central area. Most of these are houses and associated structures, public houses and hotels, churches, shops and offices. The most important non-industrial buildings are Shrewsbury Abbey and a pulpit from the former refectory of the abbey. Both of these are in the suburb of Abbey Foregate, to the west of the river, which includes many other listed buildings, mainly domestic. To the south of the river is Shrewsbury School, which is listed together with its chapels and other associated buildings. To the north of the river is Ditherington Flax Mill, six of its buildings being listed, three of them at Grade I, and four bridges crossing the river are also listed.
The church has been altered and extended through the centuries, including a restoration by S. Pountney Smith in 1860.
