Shrewsbury Castle

Shrewsbury Castle is a red sandstone castle on a hill in the neck of the River Severn meander above Shrewsbury, Shropshire. The building combines a crenellated rectangular keep-like block with an outer curtain wall and today houses a regimental museum and functions as a civic landmark.

As it stood in 1995

The shape it held in its prime.

A compact rectangular block of warm red sandstone with a continuous crenellated parapet and a single flagpole on the roof; the main façade has a row of tall pointed-arch (lancet) windows in the first-floor line with smaller square mullioned windows at attic level. A stone stair rises on the right to an arched wooden entrance, while the lower ground has a line of small arched basement openings. A low battlemented curtain wall runs leftward, and the whole sits on a trimmed grassy terrace with flowerbeds.
