Shrewsbury has been called "England's Finest Tudor Town", with good reason – the town centre is full of black and white timber-framed buildings along winding, steep, narrow streets. In fact there are over 600 listed buildings, including Shrewsbury Abbey, Shrewsbury Castle and St Mary's Church.
Shrewsbury Railway Station (formerly known as Shrewsbury General) was originally built in 1848 and was the county's first railway. The building is unusual, in that the station was later extended in 1901 with the construction of a new floor underneath the original station building. The station's platforms also extend over the River Severn.
