This arched doorway, and another a few yards to its right, along with the intervening wall and fireplace, represent most of the remains of a 13th century merchant's town house known as Bennett's Hall, Grade II listed https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101254707-remains-of-bennetts-hall-2-and-3-pride-hill-shrewsbury#.XXUz1ChKjcs & https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1254707 in 1953. There is also a short piece of similar walling in the courtyard at the rear of the modern building that surrounds what we see here. The unfortunate town house has suffered badly over the years, being partially demolished in the late 16th century and a series of cottages erected within its curtilage. What remains is now a feature at the rear of the Pret a Manger restaurant on Pride Hill.

Saturday afternoon shoppers throng Shrewsbury's pedestrianised shopping street.

Recognisably one of A.N. Bromley's works for Boots (e.g. compare Image]), this time with H.G. Watkins. Built in 1915. Pevsner is critical, describing it as "another misguided attempt to carry on the town's half-timbered tradition. Yet with alien pargeting and 'Ipswich' windows". Grade II listed. Boots is still here.

No 12 nearest the camera, no 13 beyond. They date from at least the 18th century, and probably incorporate parts of older structures than that, although the shop fronts are clearly a much more recent (20th century) addition. Collectively they attracted a Grade II listing https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101254709-12-and-13-pride-hill-shrewsbury#.YeQ8Bf7P3IU & https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1254709 in 1953.

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.
