Here in the much expanded town of Shrewsbury, in its mediaeval core, stands the 15th century Abbots House. This half-timbered building was erected in 1459 by John Wenlock, the Abbot of Lilleshall Image, as an investment and comprised shops and living accommodation. It was Grade I listed on the 10th January 1953 by the then English Heritage, now Historic England. The hanging sign on the right reads 'Abbots House'. Time photo taken not available. Image] Image]
