Attractive paired doorways under a single pediment.

The building dates from the mid 18th century, but has been much altered over the years; it is thought to have originally been a single house which was then divided into two, and later converted to offices.

A former warehouse, now converted to offices, which dates back to the early 19th century. The loading bays and doorways have generally been retained, albeit converted to doors and windows now, and the pulley/hoist mechanism remains in place below the upper gabled eaves.

An early 19th century warehouse building near the centre of Shrewsbury, still presumably in commercial use, although perhaps not by the business whose name appears above the doorway (a quick internet search suggests they may no longer be trading). Alfred Mansell was a local man who traded Highland Cattle to landowners and farms in the area.

This is the College Hill (rear) side of the former Music Hall, built c1840. After refurbishment the building reopened as the new home for the County Museum and Art Gallery. Its frontage and entrance is in The Square. The narrow lane on the right is Coffee House Passage. http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4006859

The rear of the building is seen here behind a low wall, the front being almost impossible to photograph as it faces onto a very narrow pathway. It dates from the early 17th century, and comprises a 2-storey, 3-bay layout.

At its core lies a 16th or 17th century timber-framed building, much of the structure survives behind the 18th century brick frontage, and some timber work is visible at the rear. Internal features include a full-height staircase up the centre of the house, and a deep projecting panelled fireplace in one of the front rooms.
