Difficult to get a good view of the tower from the ground but lots of nice views from around the outskirts of the town. The market itself is one of the best markets I've been to.

One of the more beautiful buildings I've seen of its type... move over lovely Shipley. Quick foray into the county town before returning to the holiday cottage.

Shrewsbury has some beautiful mediaeval buildings in the midst of which is this sixties ‘treasure’. Liked the arty vane though.

Eyesore since late 1960s. Can be seen from a very long way off.

Look out for the seafood/fish restaurant in the market.

Well a big number is on its way birthday wise so we headed into town to celebrate and passed by this trig - so why not bag it I asked myself.

Spikey tower with Shrewsbury's usual half-asleep pedestrians.

SJ44 INT034 Vane. Built 1963 at a cost of £1.000.000. This replaced earlier Market Hall which the locals preferred. The Clock is 14ft in diameter.
