16, St Mary'S Street

No. 16 on St Mary's Street in Shrewsbury is a shop that likely started as a dwelling, built in the early 19th century. The building is made of brick, with a roof that is not visible behind the parapet eaves. It stands three stories tall and has a three-window range. The shop front, which probably dates from the late 19th century, features a doorway on the left that originally provided access to the upper floors, and a central doorway to the shop that has been converted into a window. This central window is flanked by the original wide windows, all beneath a continuous plain fascia. The upper windows consist of 12-pane sashes, with the second storey having 9-pane sashes, and all are topped with flat-arched gauged brick heads. The building has plain parapet eaves and gable end stacks.
