About Shrewsbury

JuteVilla
castle fortification, and Shrewsbury Abbey, a former Benedictine monastery, were founded in 1074 and 1083 respectively, by the Norman Earl of Shrewsbury, Roger de Montgomery. The town hosts one of the oldest and largest horticultural events in the country, the Shrewsbury Flower Show, and is known for its floral displays, having won various awards since the start of the 21st century, including Britain in Bloom in 2006.

Today, 9 miles (14 km) east of the Welsh border, Shrewsbury serves as the commercial centre for the ceremonial county and a large area of mid-Wales, with retail output alone worth over £299 million per year. There are some light industry and distribution centres, such as Battlefield Enterprise Park, mainly on the outskirts. The A5 and A49 trunk roads cross near to the town, as do five separate railway lines at Shrewsbury railway station
