Darwin's birthplace; The Mount, Shrewsbury
Charles Darwin was born here in 1809. Not a bad place of origin, a handsome home with extensive outbuildings such as old coach house and stables, backing on to the River Severn and with extensive views.
Now marked on the map as 'government offices' the building houses the district valuer's offices.

The Mount, Frankwell, Shrewsbury
Built for Robert Darwin, c1796, in pink brick with red brick dressings. The Doric porch is a slightly later addition. Grade II* listed.
The architecture is trumped by the fact that Robert's most famous son, Charles, was born here in 1809. Charles attended Shrewsbury School, but otherwise the claim to fame seems a bit of a stretch. At the time the buildings served as the District Valuer and Valuation Office of Shrewsbury.
