Viewed across the A5191 St Michael's Street. Ann's Hill is a terrace of 3-storey Georgian houses, now numbered 56-59 St Michael’s Street. The Shrewsbury Local History Society website states that they were built by John Simpson, and named after his second daughter, who was christened Marianne in 1793, but was known as Ann. Ann's Hill was built at the same time as the nearby Ditherington Flax Mill (opened in 1797), and it is thought to have been the original apprentice house for the factory.
