16 & 17 Castle Street, Shrewsbury
This rather striking retail premises dates to the early 19th century, although much of the mock timber facade is just that - a facade. It attracted a Grade II listing https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101246563-16-and-17-castle-street-shrewsbury#.Yf6qRurP3IU & https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1246563 in 1972.

The 19th century alterations hide a much earlier, probably early 17th century timber framed house, which was later extended and converted to retail use. The original building lies within the central jettied & gabled portion seen here.
