House on St Michael's Street
The house itself may date from the early 1800s. The Shrewsbury Canal,completed in 1797, crossed St Michael's Street at this point to about the position of the lamppost. The former towpath is then picked up by the current footpath and this continues along the line of trees before sweeping right towards the centre of Shrewsbury terminating in a basin behind the Buttermarket.

'The Maltings' Hair and Beauty Salon
This has the appearance of a converted public house. The name refers to the former brewery maltings opposite in the Ditherington Flax Mill complex.
The houses beyond date from the early 1800s and were built to house workers in the mill. Apprentice and clerks houses were provided within the complex.
The trapezoidal plan shape of the building reflects the course of the Shrewsbury Canal which crossed the road diagonally at this point.

Plate on Shrewsbury Canal bridge 47, 1990
Factory Bridge, rebuilt 1913 has only the parapet on the south side of the A5191 surviving, but traces of the other may survive as brickwork reduced to near pavement level. The canal traffic dwindled to nothing in the 1930s and was formally abandoned in 1944.

Old canal related signage beside the main road
The footpath here follows the line of the old Shrewsbury Canal I think. This sign is one of the few remaining elements of that era.
