Former motorcycle shop, Shrewsbury
The shop unit on the corner of St Julian's Friars was empty when this photo was taken, but the fading sign on the wall makes its original function clear -"cycle & motorcycle tyres in stock - Velocette motorcycles - Lington cyclecars". That latter presumably refers to Lington of Bedford who made some early motorcars.

Section of the medieval town wall off Beeches Lane
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)

Henry Tudor House, Wyle Cop, Shrewsbury
So called because he is reputed to have stayed here in 1485 before or after the Battle of Bosworth. The building is of the early 15C, and has the hall on the first floor. The traceried windows on that floor are original. The second floor is jettied out with coving in the overhang. The building to the left, Mytton's mansion, is also 15C.
