Former offices of South Shropshire District Council, until the council was abolished in 2009 with the area becoming the responsibility of the new Shropshire unitary authority. It was converted to residential use in 2011. It was originally built in the 18th century, and the stucco front was added in around 1840 (obscuring not just the front but also the relevance of the building's name!). It is grade II* listed - see www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1281966. The buildings beyond are all grade II listed: no 112 (the half timbered building), 16th century with later additions, see www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1221213; no 111 (connected to it, but of different construction being white painted brick), 18th century with earlier origins - see www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1290614; and no 110 (the taller building in the background, with chimneys), similarly constructed and again dating from the 18th century with earlier additions - see www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1282021.
