Shropshire Council is working to make Shropshire a great place to live, learn, work, and visit- we want to innovate to thrive. To make that ambition a reality, we need to understand what our towns and communities need in order to make them better places for all. Our Place Plans – of which there are 18 across the county – paint a picture of each local area, and help all of us to shape and improve our communities. Place Plans are therefore documents which bring together information about a defined area. The information that they contain is focussed on infrastructure needs, such as roads, transport facilities, flood defences, schools and educational facilities, medical facilities, sporting and recreational facilities, and open spaces. They also include other information which can help us to understand local needs and to make decisions.

Midway between Shrewsbury and Ludlow the town has the nickname of Little Switzerland. St Lawrence’s Church still stands on its original site with much of the building dating from Norman times. In 1214 King John granted rights for a weekly market which gave Church Stretton the status of a market town. In 1337 Edward III renewed the charter granting markets on a Thursday. A great fire in 1593 destroyed much of the town centre which was rebuilt with half-timbered buildings many of which can still be seen today. In 1852 the railway came to Church Stretton, which today provides good transport links to the rail network. Today the town is popular with walkers who visit the surrounding hills and areas of outstanding natural beauty. Area Quick Statistics 3,132 hectares 2,180 households 4,800 people 1.5 people per hectare 2,350 dwellings 52 is the average age This town profile has been produced by the Information, Intelligence and Insight team of Shropshire Council.

Shrewsbury’s proximity to the Welsh border has given the town a turbulent history with battles between the two sides as to whom should rule the town. The famous Battle of Shrewsbury took place in 1403, and was one of the most bloodiest battles in English history . The site of this battle has been designated a heritage site and can be visited as can the nearby memorial church. Located alongside beautiful countryside with the nearby Welsh borders to the west , and to the east the larger town of Telford and the West Midlands conurbation beyond, Shrewsbury is now the county town of Shropshire and the largest town in the county. It is one of England’s finest medieval market towns. The town centre is packed with timber framed black and white buildings, steep narrow streets and alleyways. It has over 600 listed buildings including the Castle, now a regimental museum and also the famous Shrewsbury Abbey. Charles Darwin was born and educated in Shrewsbury and there are many references to him around the town. Shrewsbury is now a vibrant market town with many bars, shops and restaurants and a popular tourist destination.
