A pair of fine town houses which have had various uses over their lifetime. Originally 16th century, but much rebuilt in 1818 when they were part of the nearby Shrewsbury School (interior wood panelling retains carvings from pupils in the period 1840 - 1880 or so) and Grade II listed https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101254870-building-adjacent-to-the-old-school-house-shrewsbury#.ZA5JinbP3IU & https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1254870 in 1953. They have also previously served as the offices of the West Midlands and British Quarrying Co Ltd, and also of the General Accident, Fire and Life Assurance Corporation Ltd; both are now private houses.
