Originally built as shops and dwellings, most probably in the early 18th century, although the current shop fronts are rather more modern than that. The rear wall of both buildings, and the cellars of no 11 on the right, incorporate the remains and cellars of a much older structure, thought to be 14th century. I didn't ask to have a look at these, but they may be contemporaneous with, and similar in structure to Image which lies at the back of a restaurant a few doors down the street. Nos 10 & 11 were Grade II listed https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101254708-10-and-11-pride-hill-shrewsbury#.YeQ-7_7P3IU & https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1254708 in 1972.
