Shrewsbury has been named one of the best places to live by The Times!

"With its Tudor half-timbers, immaculate Georgian facades, alleyways, spires and churchyards, there's so much atmosphere packed into Shrewsbury's tight loop in the River Severn,"
says the article.

Shrewsbury saw off competition from major contenders including York, Winchester and Altrincham to reach the top 72 places to live in the UK.

Our town’s independent business scene, amazing outdoor space, award-winning Market Hall and historic pubs were particularly highlighted.
