Parapet topping Shrewsbury's town wall
A large section of the 13th century, medieval town wall on the south side of the former boundary of Shrewsbury remains in place, and is built of large sandstone blocks with this road 'Town Walls' being built pretty much on top of it. The wall itself isn't easily visible from the road or the path, but can be seen from the allotments, gardens and tennis courts on the far side of the road (if you can gain access to them...). The parapet wall seen here is a later addition, and in many places is the result of 18th century and later repair work. The whole was Grade II* listed https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101254934-town-walls-shrewsbury#.YrQQZ3bMI2w & https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1254934 in 1995. The section east of Belmont Crescent is also designated as a Scheduled (Ancient) Monument.

Vegetable garden
Below the Town Walls. We could not work out how this garden was accessed. A bowls pavilion backs on to it. The use of the building is made clear not only by the bowling green beyond, but by the weather vane too.

Bowling greens below Town Walls
Looking down on the bowling greens below Town Walls. The small figure playing bowls in the centre of the photo is in fact a weathervane on the roof of the pavilion. Below the figure are the centenary dates 1896-1996, but I have been unable to establish the name of the club or sports ground.

7 Belmont, Shrewsbury
Dated c1700. Quite charming but very plain and its facade disrupted by an off-centre entrance. The gatepiers are almost grander than the house. Grade II* listed.
