Forgotten OS benchmark - Shirehall, south side of Abbey Foregate
A badly weathered, and unrecorded (OS?) benchmark in a wall more or less opposite Shirehall. It's not mentioned by the OS's own website, so its height cannot be noted here.

131 Abbey Foregate, Shrewsbury
A fairly plain early 19th century house or cottage, which was Grade II listed https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101246328-131-abbey-foregate-shrewsbury & https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1246328 in 1953. Until recently it had a 2nd chimney stack above the right gable, but that seems to have been removed. The steel fencing is associated with rebuilding work at the adjacent Image which was in the process of conversion to flats at the time of this picture.

Shire Hall, Shrewsbury
One of those ground breaking, mould breaking 1960's buildings aimed at being futuristic, efficient and long-lasting. But having a flat roof, windows that allow it to be cold in winter and over hot in summer and designed in such a way that as a first time visitor youre never totally sure where the main entrance door is. Nothing says ' faceless bureaucracy' more than a county hall type building of this date.
