The Mount, Frankwell, Shrewsbury
Image: © Stephen Richards Taken: 13 May 2014
Built for Robert Darwin, c1796, in pink brick with red brick dressings. The Doric porch is a slightly later addition. Grade II* listed. The architecture is trumped by the fact that Robert's most famous son, Charles, was born here in 1809. Charles attended Shrewsbury School, but otherwise the claim to fame seems a bit of a stretch. At the time the buildings served as the District Valuer and Valuation Office of Shrewsbury.
