Shrewsbury is the county town of Shropshire, situated on the River Severn in the West Midlands of England. This historic market town, founded in the 8th century, is characterized by its well-preserved medieval architecture, with over 660 listed buildings including many timber-framed structures from the 15th and 16th centuries. The town's distinctive features include its 'shuts' (narrow medieval passageways) and The Quarry, a beautiful riverside park.
Shrewsbury is notable as the birthplace of Charles Darwin, whose early education at Shrewsbury School influenced his later scientific work. The town maintains a rich cultural heritage through its museums, annual flower show, and various cultural festivals. Its historic town center, largely unaltered since medieval times, reflects the town's importance as a trading center during the wool industry's heyday. Today, Shrewsbury continues to be an important cultural and commercial hub for Shropshire, blending its historical significance with contemporary arts and cultural activities.
