One of three fairly similar, early 18th century houses around a central courtyard. The sign to the lower left of the doorway suggests that the basement is now partly in commercial use, being the part that incorporates the remains of cells from the 18th century town gaol, and which presumably makes for an 'interesting' beauty experience. The whole was Grade II listed https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101270574-sydney-house-shrewsbury#.ZA5C3HbP3IU & https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1270574 in 1953.
