Listed buildings in Shrewsbury (outer areas)

The town flourished commercially during the 13th century, mainly from the wool trade, and a number of friaries were founded.

There was particular growth during the 18th century, when more impressive properties and public buildings were constructed, now in brick.

There was little heavy industry in the town, but at the end of the 18th century Ditherington Flax Mill was built, the first fully iron-framed building in the world.

At the same time, the Shrewsbury Canal was opened, and the railway arrived in the town in 1848.

Both of these are in the suburb of Abbey Foregate, to the west of the river, which includes many other listed buildings, mainly domestic.
