Shrewsbury Girls' High School was founded in 1885. This is the senior school with 4 'houses' named after Roman deities. The Eye, Ear and Throat Hospital beyond it opened in 1881. It earned a reputation for its high standard of treatment and during WW1 was a major clearing centre for troops with eye injuries, treating up to 800 soldiers a week. It closed in 1998 and has been turned into flats.
