It is Shropshire's county town and has served for centuries as a focal point for the whole county, full of characterful, historic buildings and quirks.
It has maintained a lot of its old world charm despite modern developments and the changing nature of business, and one of the most distinctive old buildings there is a Tudor style building that is wider on the top storey than it is at ground level - a common technique for Tudor builders that was known as jettying.
The first stone of Lord Hill's Column, which stands outside modern day Shirehall, was laid more than 200 years ago in 1814.
