What an amazing place to spend a wet and windy day during the school half term holiday. All staff were friendly, polite and knowledgeable. We had a superb day with our 9 year old daughter. Lots for children to do. The food in the cafe was delicious - very fresh sandwiches. Again, the staff were polite and friendly. Free to get in - amazing in this day and age!! £5 for the car park and a suggested donation of £5 in the museum. Thank you to all.

This market hall was recommended to us by the proprietor of our B&B and she was right to do so. A very interesting collection of independent market stall offering produce from your standard fruit and veg , Asian and Indian street food and plenty of different arts and crafts stalls. All undercover over two floors it was interesting to wander here for a while.

This scenic area, often used by moviemakers because of its unspoiled, authentic 18th-century architecture, offers several museums that represent a different aspect of Britain's industrial heritage.
Good insight to the foundations of our Industrial Age and daily life for people of the time. Victorian village was well done with the actors role playing very well staff and volunteers very friendly and helpful in spite of current times and extra pressures. Glad we came to discover this part of the history and the gorge and bridge too.

Fine art from the collections has been included throughout the galleries. Facilities include a café, Museum shop and Visitor Information Centre.
Although ‘locals’ we had never visited the museum before so decided to go today before the end of the Lego exhibition currently displaying in the museum. One off entrance fee of £4.50 per adult (you can buy a yearly pass if you wish for £25 if memory serves me correctly). Lego exhibition was good depicting various moments in history. The museum itself takes you through time from Iron Age through to Tudor times and a section focusing on when the Roman’s were in occupancy. Some interesting exhibits and loved seeing the old paintings/mockups of how Shrewsbury and the surrounding areas looked back in time. We spent around 1 1/2 hours there (although you could spend longer) and enjoyed our visit. Also the staff were friendly and welcoming. We also ate in the ‘Stop’ cafe which although not cheap did serve very nice coffee and cakes, gluten free option of orange and chocolate polenta for my wife and coffee cake for me. Well worth a visit if you want to find out more of the history of Shrewsbury.

Just visited for the second time and I love it! Such an amazing collection of ceramic tiles and the story and history behind the factory and tiles in general. I spent ages just walking around the showroom room and then the room at the end with so many tiles on display to see. Just beautiful. Made me want to go home and tile something! There were many designs I would love to use in my own home. With my Ironbridge annual ticket, I will try to visit one more time just to look again before my year is up.

You cannot imagine how much there is to look at in here. We easily lost ourselves and before we knew it 90 minutes had passed. You can tell the curators have put a lifetime of effort into collecting these items. Well worth a visit and a wander round! We were dubious thinking it can’t be very big, but it’s over 4 floors. If you like to reminisce then you will love this!

The spire of St Mary's is one of the tallest in England and for over 500 years it has dominated the skyline of Shrewsbury's old town. In 1739, showman Robert Cadman attempted to slide from it, head first, using a rope and a grooved breastplate. His engraved obituary stands outside the west door. The church is now the only complete Medieval church in Shrewsbury. It dates from Saxon times and has beautiful additions from the 12th-century onwards. Inside, the atmosphere is peaceful with the soaring stone arches giving way to the church's great treasure - its stained glass. There are panels in glorious colour including the world-famous 14th-century 'Jesse window' filled with figures of Old Testament kings and prophets. No other church in the country has a collection to equal it. The Café at St Mary's Church, Shrewsbury, run by the Battlefield 1403 farm shop and deli, is now open Monday - Saturday 10am - 4pm.
This church is very ancient and well worth a visit, especially for its beautiful historical stained glasses.
