Great shots! I particularly like the abbey ones.
I used to live in Shrewsbury, did you notice part of the abbey wall is missing? the rest of the building was where the road now is, fantastic building inside isn't it?

The park by the river is called the 'Quarry' and the gardens are 'The Dingle'.....a flower photographers paradise in May! The Dingle is supposed to be haunted by a woman who was burned at the stake in the 16th century for witchcraft.

Picture No. 4 is St Chad's Church, if you go into the graveyard there you will see Ebeneezer Scrooge's gravestone.....used when they filmed 'A Christmas Carol' in Shrewsbury.

The statue in the water is a mythical goddess nymph called Sabrina who supposedly drowned in the River Severn nearby

Nice set of shots from my home town. Left there 12 years ago and when I go back it never fails to impress and surprise me with it's beauty.

You have captured some great shots here and thank you for sharing.

Love the set as a whole, Shrewsbury is a lovely town in a beautiful county (Shropshire). In fact I love the whole region, the Severn Valley right down through Bewdley where I lived for five years as a small boy, and the Welsh Marches. I like to spend a few days every year in the Shropshire, Worcestershire, Herefordshire, Gloucestershire region.
Your pictures revive happy memories.

Really pleasant shots from a beautiful day.

Nice shots Adrian

Thanks Michael, especially the historical facts.
I find it especially interesting the connections with the Abbey with St. Beuno and St. Winefride, with St. Beuno's Church in the village of Clynnogfawr being only 3 miles from where I live.

Thanks Andrew.
It is a beautiful place, and it would be nice to visit later in the year (the Castle for example, was closed during our stay).

Appreciate all your comments.
