  • An Excavation in the Inner Bailey of Shrewsbury Castle
    An excavation in the inner bailey of Shrewsbury Castle Nigel Baker January 2020 An excavation in the inner bailey of Shrewsbury Castle Nigel Baker BA PhD FSA MCIfA January 2020 A report to the Castle Studies Trust 1. Shrewsbury Castle: the inner bailey excavation in progress, July 2019. North to top. (Shropshire Council) Summary In May and July 2019 a two-phase archaeological investigation of the inner bailey of Shrewsbury Castle took place, supported by a grant from the Castle Studies Trust. A geophysical survey by Tiger Geo used resistivity and ground-penetrating radar to identify a hard surface under the north-west side of the inner bailey lawn and a number of features under the western rampart. A trench excavated across the lawn showed that the hard material was the flattened top of natural glacial deposits, the site having been levelled in the post-medieval period, possibly by Telford in the 1790s. The natural gravel was found to have been cut by a twelve-metre wide ditch around the base of the motte, together with pits and garden features. One pit was of late pre-Conquest date. 1 Introduction Shrewsbury Castle is situated on the isthmus, the neck, of the great loop of the river Severn containing the pre-Conquest borough of Shrewsbury, a situation akin to that of the castles at Durham and Bristol. It was in existence within three years of the Battle of Hastings and in 1069 withstood a siege mounted by local rebels against Norman rule under Edric ‘the Wild’ (Sylvaticus). It is one of the best-preserved Conquest-period shire-town earthwork castles in England, but is also one of the least well known, no excavation having previously taken place within the perimeter of the inner bailey.

The county was contested during the First Civil War of 1642-6 and also saw armed conflict on a smaller scale during the Second Civil War of 1648. This detailed study provides a comprehensive bipartisan analysis of military endeavour, in terms of organisation and of the engagements fought. Drawing on numerous primary sources, it explores: leadership and administration; recruitment and the armed forces; military finance; supply and logistics; and the nature and conduct of the fighting.

    Shrewsbury: Town Centre Audit Analysis 2019/20 Introduction An audit of businesses operating in Shrewsbury’s main shopping streets was undertaken in November 2019 as part of a piece of research reviewing the vibrancy of Shropshire’s main market towns and key settlements. The objective of this audit was to provide a snapshot of the vitality of the town by investigating: • The range and diversity of the retail offer • The number and types of non-retail businesses operating • The number and location of vacant properties • Distinctive characteristics within the town, for example a strong tourism offer or a high penetration of“low end” traders • The amount, location and type of domestic residences in the centre of the town Key Findings 2 139,600 m Gross Average Store Size: 767 Commercial Units Commercial Floor Space 182m2 13% of Commercial Units Vacant 35% of Units Comparison Retail 5% Floor Space Convenience Retail 23 Charity Shops 27 Public Houses/Bars 68 Hair & Beauty Salons 50 Restaurants 75 Clothes/Shoes Shops 880 Domestic Residences Methodology Statement Only the main retail centre of the town was surveyed, as shown on Map 4. Out-of-town retail parks and local shopping parades are not included. Both retail and non-retail businesses will be operating in other parts of the town. In the case of Shrewsbury, there are three main retail parks outside the town centre as depicted on map 7.

  • PROJECT BRIEF Castle Street Vision & Development Framework
    PROJECT BRIEF Castle Street Vision & Development Framework 1. SUMMARY OF SERVICES REQUIRED Shrewsbury Big Town Plan Partnership wishes to appoint a skilled and experienced consultant to lead a project focussed on the regeneration of Castle Street (see map here) - a key gateway and character area of Shrewsbury town centre. Castle Street runs from the train station into the heart of the town centre and is home to businesses, residential dwellings and two of the town’s most significant historic assets - Shrewsbury Castle and Shrewsbury Library (Grade 1 Listed former Shrewsbury School Building) - both owned by Shropshire Council. However the street suffers from vacant units (including upper floors), a lack of identity and coherence, and despite relatively high footfall is economically underperforming. This project builds on from the substantial work to date on the Shrewsbury Big Town Plan and in particular relates to the themes of ‘Creating Enterprise’ and ‘Supporting Vitality, Life & Mix’. The appointed consultant will work closely with the Big Town Plan Team, engaging with relevant land owners, occupiers, partners and stakeholders to co-create a vision and development framework for Castle Street. The development framework will include soft-market tested and deliverable development proposals including the re-purposing and re-configuration of existing buildings, as well as small scale and temporary interventions that could be delivered now to improve the public realm and experience. The project will require a mix of disciplines and expertise including visioning, historic buildings, stakeholder engagement, urban design, soft market testing, and viability appraisals. 2. BACKGROUND ON THE BIG TOWN PLAN Shropshire Council, Shrewsbury BID and Shrewsbury Town Council are working in partnership on the Shrewsbury Big Town Plan project.
