Grade II listed https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101255142-nags-head-public-house-shrewsbury#.XABdwNSLTGg in 1953, The Nag's Head is essentially 15th century, albeit much altered and 'updated' in the 19th. The somewhat plain frontage here hides a timber frame, although the clues to its age are there if you look at the jettied upper floors, and the 1st floor windows. To the rear of the pub, effectively in the courtyard, lies a complete gem of a building, the remaining skeletal timber frame of an early 15th century town house, described at https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101255127-building-to-rear-of-nags-head-public-house-shrewsbury#.XABe2NSLTGg. I will attempt to get a photo of that on another occasion, although there are currently (2018) some attached to the first link above.
