Seen here from the other river bank, this Grade II listed building https://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101270652-the-boathouse-inn-shrewsbury#.WQNC6tQrLGg was granted its listing in 1953. It's believed to date, in parts at least, from the late 16th century, although there have been alterations in the intervening years, and the original structure is described as a 'long range, with cross wing', which rather suggests it was perhaps a farmhouse or similar. These days, especially on a warm spring weekend, it's a very popular watering hole and pub.
