This is the dormer-gable on the facade of the Drapers' Hall, since altered. This part was an extension of 1582. The drapers were the wealthiest trade guild in the town. This wealth came from them acting as middle-men for the Welsh woollen cloth trade. Shrewsbury, Shropshire. Shrewsbury Shropshire, Welsh, Facade, Acting, Middle, Men, Welsh Language, Facades, Guys

Historic Shrewsbury

1617 Shrewsbury. Some familiar old names and some I’ve not heard of. Pride Hill is written High Paument on here (High Pavement). Butcher Row was The Shambles, Claremont Street used to be Dog Lane, on here it’s Hound Street. Hills Lane was Knocken Street, Mardol is Mard Wall. There’s a Shoemakers Row, Beche Lane, Meryvace and Criples Lane. The Old St Chads had a college nearby (hence College Hill), it also had Almhouses. A longer bridge to the Abbey, you can see why it still floods up there. Medieval Town, Medieval Art, Shrewsbury England, Old Names, 12th Century, Cartography, Great Britain, Old Town, Old Things
