The sandstone wall on the left is a short stretch of the former Shrewsbury Town Wall, which was built from the 13th century onwards as a defensive structure. It's hard to access now that new houses have been built close up to it on the right, but the section a little further on from here, probably beyond the wooden shed, was Grade II listed https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101271331-town-wall-to-south-of-numbers-3-10-shrewsbury#.Y2ZmOXbP3IU & https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1271331 in 1986 (the listing does not include the piece of the wall in this photo, rather oddly)
